He also stated they are parking legally unless the City changes the area to a "No Parking" zone. 3) Mr. Taylor stated he had received a call from a citizen who had been kicked out of the park at Thompson's Island for practicing Taekwondo. He also inquired as to the difference between a group of people playing football and practicing karate. Mr. Cobb stated a citizen had called in with a complaint of a fight on Thompson's Island. A Park Ranger was sent out to investigate the activity the individuals were engaged in. They were all dressed in different attire and the Park Ranger made a judgment call. Mr. O'Leary suggested next time the group uses the park to practice karate, he suggested they wear some type of clothing, which would signify they are a group practicing and not fighting.
