BRIGHTON, Mass. (WHDH) — Police said a resident found a revolver at a Brighton playground Tuesday morning.
The gun was found at around 11:45 a.m. Tuesday near the baseball field at McKinney Playground on Faneuil Street. Police said they received an anonymous tip, which led them to the gun.
One park-goer who spoke with 7News said he visits the park every day and he has contacted the Parks and Recreation Department about the park’s condition, saying there is garbage and shattered glass everywhere.
A spokesperson for the city’s Parks and Recreation Department said they have and are working to improve city parks, including McKinney Playground.
“McKinney Playground recently had some renovations this past year,” said Ryan Woods, the director of External Affairs for the Parks and Recreation Department. “We received $95,000 of funding from the Boston College Neighborhood Improvement Fund. This funding helped to complete court renovations, add picnic tables to the park and add a scoreboard. We also just completed a Master Plan study with the community that we hope to implement in a future year capital budget cycle.”
