"Leakin Park Assault Suspect Arrested Thanks to Elastic Bands"

Safety concerns have prompted calls for increased investment and support for Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park in Baltimore, the second largest woodland park in the country. Recent incidents, including a sexual assault, have raised alarm among visitors, who are now taking extra precautions. The park lacks sufficient staffing and maintenance, relying heavily on volunteers. The community is urging city officials to prioritize the park's safety and well-being, including increased police presence, repairs to infrastructure, and improved cleanliness. A safety meeting is scheduled to address concerns and engage with community members.
