While my brother and I were using the swings, a woman approached us, questioned us about our residence and names, and claimed her daughters were scared. She then called the police and insisted we wait for their arrival, despite there being no age restrictions on the swings. The police arrived, allowed us to file a report, and then let us go home.
It seems like a stressful situation you went through. In New York, everyone has the right to use public parks and facilities without harassment, provided they follow park rules. Filing a report with the police was a good step. Did the police mention any further actions or steps you should take?
