Pokémon Go players claim they have been moved on by police and threatened with fines on Tuesday night, after a large crowd flocked to a park in Rhodes.

Peg Paterson Park has attracted players in great numbers, with three Pokéstops intersecting at the location.

Areas with a concentration of Pokéstops - the game's landmark-based locations that provide items and experience points - are favoured by players looking to maximise their progress.

But residents in the quiet waterside suburb are fighting back, with one telling Fairfax Media overnight that there was "complete chaos" and "massive levels of noise" after midnight.
