How Pokemon GO turned this quiet park into a nightmare

A tiny suburban park in Rhodes, Australia has turned into a nightmare following the perfect configuration of three Pokestops.

Thousands of people have descended upon the park to take advantage of the perfect Poke-storm, causing chaos for local residents.

“There have been a number of concerning instances already including an emergency services vehicle having difficulty reaching an apartment fire due to traffic congestion, traffic accidents, and reports of motorcycles using cycle and footpaths to get around traffic congestion,” City of Canada Bay General Manager Gary Sawyer told Domain.

“We have Pokéstops and gyms throughout our local government area, but the intensity of activity in this small park is cause for concern. For this reason, we are asking that two of the three Pokéstops be removed,” Mr Sawyer added.

“There is loud shouting throughout the night, people dumping rubbish and cigarette butts and constant traffic jams,” he said. “I think the constant traffic in the area is now creating a lot of chaos here for residents.”
