The locals are desperate about the state of their neighborhood park and urge the council to lock it up at night if they complain that it has become a hotbed for several murders, rapes, drug trafficking and a gay mass orgia.
'Grisly' images show the waste and rubble that remains in Finnish Park in the aftermath of a sex party with no fewer than 80 men who 'destroyed wildlife in the wild' in their wake.
Parents have now prevented their children everywhere near the 150-year-old site while they complain that it has deteriorated in recent years, with some also comparing the area with those about HBO Crime Drama The Wire.
Katie Dawson, chairman of the charity of Friends of Finnish Park (FOFB), said that similar requirements had previously led to the Haringey Council to insist that a lack of resources prevented them from locking the park.
The 57 -year -old, however, complained that thanks to summer concerts and festivals – including Wireless Festival, which this year has the Canadian rapper Drake Headlines headlines – the council actually has a considerable annual budget of more than £ 1.2 million.
Mrs. Dawson said: 'It's pretty creepy.
'These recent photos emphasize a problem that we have known for a long time. But it has now come to a peak because there was a huge event last weekend.
'It's just not a safe place. Crime and antisocial behavior get out of hand. '
Srawl including torn pants, condoms, polluted wet wipes, packages of lubricant, human excrement, medicines and needles were left in Finnish Park

The mother-of-three declared the local population a 'disturbing' event last weekend in which bush beds in the natural north side of the park were 'torn apart' during a massive gay orgia in which dozens of men were involved.
The park, together with Hampstead Heath, has long been affiliated with gay 'cruising' – looking for informal sexual partners in public places.
Mrs. Dawson said: 'We know there is sex work, taking drugs and drug trafficking.
'We have a lot of sexual antisocial behavior … people who meet for orgies.
'There was a massive meeting last weekend where about 80 men went to the park in the dark and left all their waste.
'The place was covered with an enormous amount of debris: torn pants, hundreds of condoms, polluted wet wipes, packages of lubricant, human excrement, medicines and needles …
'But they have also torn many historical shrub beds that support nesting birds.
'Five have been destroyed by boys who go inside and try to create space to do their thing … It's pretty terrible.

More damaged bushes. Mrs. Dawson said: 'It's just not good for a park where people take their children with them, jog or have their lunch the next day'
'It all feels very unsafe. We don't feel supported at all. There is no urgency about all this crime in our park, “the critic added
'There is a long history of when homosexuality was illegal, but this is something else. These are the pre -agreed organizations for men … I don't know which other word I can think of.
'It is the massive encounter of men who have sex.
“It's just not good for a park where people take their children with you the next day, jog or go their lunch.”
Gio Iozzi, a mother of two who lives near the park, stated that she would no longer bring her children to the park if they were young.
Mrs. Lozzi, a resident of the area of ​​the area, said: 'It is the wild west of crime.
'It is known that there is group sex in the park.
“It was abandoned by the police and councilors. Because it borders three districts, we feel that nobody takes responsibility for it. The council is milking it for all the money they can. There are drug deals, group sex, rapes, murders …
'It all feels very unsafe. We don't feel supported at all. There is no urgency about all this crime in our park.
A young local has described the moments that he and a friend came across what seemed to be an orgy last September
“It sometimes feels like a no-go zone. It feels like the council is not interested in keeping it safe and protected.
“Nobody takes responsibility. It's like something out of the wire – that's how it feels.
“It's absolutely disgusting.”
A young local described the moments that he and a friend came across what seemed to be an orgy in September and said: 'Was at night through Finnbury Park to the exit in Manor House.
'We have disturbed a large group of men who started running away from what an orgy seemed to be in the bushes.
“In the beginning we didn't know what to think, but we both felt nervous about the large number of people and the lack of safety.
'Since then I have spoken with other friends who have seen the same kind of things.
“It is shocking that this stuff can continue.”
Mrs. Dawson said: 'A park is somewhere that local people will enjoy. For most people who live in the park, it is their garden '

FOFP has asked Haringey Council to lock the gates on the park at night – like other London's councils for Victoria Park, Southwark Park, Burgess Park, Battersea Park and Clissold Park – which they think can at least some of the 'horrible' ins and out.
Mrs. Dawson said: 'The park is not locked at night, which is very unusual for a city center park.
'It has become known as a place that you can go in the dark.
'A park is somewhere that local people will enjoy. For most people who live in the park, it is their garden.
“It's disturbing. We have been saying for a long time that we have to do what most other parks do in London and lock it up at night.
'The council says they have no money, but they organize these huge concerts in the summer, so that they can probably afford to pay a park ranger to lock up the park and unlock in the morning.
“We already have a circumference gate. It is wrong that the council apparently thinks it is not their problem.
'We are fed up with hit our heads against the wall and seeing the park deteriorating.
Damaged thought is caused by the mass orgia. Mrs. Dawson said that the park “became known as a place where you can go after dark”
“It's just nonsense. They just don't care about the park.
“It is a beloved, much needed space for many people.”
Alderman Emily Arkell, the cabinet member of Haringey Council for culture and leisure, said that the authority wanted to keep the park as open as possible and would only consider locking it under 'exceptional' circumstances.
She said: 'We are determined to keep Finsbury Park as accessible and open as possible.
'We acknowledge in this post-known world how important it is for our communities and residents, who commute to and from work through the park and exercise there in early mornings and late evenings.
'It is essential that everyone feels safe in Finnbury Park and we have taken strong steps – and keep taking to ensure that this remains the case.
'We have installed CCTV cameras and overhead lighting, as well as increased presence of staff, including continuous regular patrols, to prevent antisocial behavior.
'We will continue to contact our partners and external stakeholders about plans to improve the safety of the community through initiatives led by the police such as the Tri-Borough Clear, Hold, Build Project, which tackles serious and organized crime in the broader Finnbury Park area.
The Council says that the 'CCTV cameras and overhead lighting has installed, as well as an increased presence of staff, including continuous regular patrols, to prevent antisocial behavior'
'As set out in our newest strategy for parks and green spaces, we would only consider locking the park in exceptional circumstances, because there is no legal requirement for us to do this.
'We would encourage park users who witness incidents of antisocial behavior in Finnbury Park to report this to the police by calling 101.
“We are all determined to eradicate this in Finsbury Park.”
A police spokesperson said: 'Finsbury Park is a public space for everyone to enjoy and we would encourage everyone who uses the park to do this respectfully and attentively.
'Local officers regularly patrol in the park and we work together with partners, including the Council and Community Groups, to tackle any concerns of park users and local residents to adjust these patrols.
“Every crime that is marked for our officers are judged and investigated accordingly, with those responsible for arrest.”
