~I didn't believe you~ (Update: the video was at the very bottom in the linked article, I'm sorry): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awPVY1DcupE

Description below the video:

UPDATE: After public uproar, SF Rec & Park removed the policy that allowed this encounter to happen. The City - without posting the availability of the park rental on their public website - had been marketing the Tuesday and Thursday slots initially only through an app so that the demographic portrayed in the video - a tech league - was taking the space from neighborhood kids twice a week.

i would blame the parks department more than the employees. My 8 year old has had this happen to him (we live in Dallas) and his friends. Poor communication about reservation availability and who has reserved what and when is always the issue, especially if a YMCA is involved heh. If the employees were being jerks about it though is another thing.
