ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Numerous internet videos of fights show kids duking it out at a popular city park, a place designed to keep kids out of trouble. Now the city's Park and Recreation Department and Albuquerque Police say they are getting involved.
Fight videos from the Los Altos Skate Park near Lomas and Eubank have been posted to YouTube beginning last summer.
The latest was posted Monday, which shows young kids brawling with the older guys behind the camera encouraging the whole thing.
Some of the videos have received tens of thousands of views.
A spokesman for the Parks and Recreation Department said officials were not aware of the videos or the fighting but said they will take immediate action.
"We will work with APD to monitor any illegal or dangerous activity that is reported to us," said spokesman Paul Hyso. "In the case of Los Altos Skate Park, we have notified APD and requested additional patrols to prevent future incidents."
Hyso said APD officers will patrol the park every afternoon and evening to spot any dangerous activity.
Hyso also said employees at the nearby city sports office at Los Altos Park will also keep a close watch. Currently, city workers do not staff park sites.
Skate park regulars said violence has calmed down a bit but said fights are still inevitable.
"You're always going to run into confrontation and almost run into people here, but that's going to happen at any park you go to," said Skylar Petty.
The City of Albuquerque Parks and Recreation Department operates six skate parks.
