Visitors to Point Pleasant Park in Halifax can expect to see more police in the area on Sunday evenings.

As the weather warms up, a large number of motorists and car enthusiasts have been gathering in the lower parking lot, Halifax police say.

They're getting complaints about dangerous driving, vandalism, illegal parking, littering and drinking.

Access to the lower parking lot has become a concern, police said, because of the numbers of people who gather.

Although this has been an issue for a number of years each spring, police said it is a bigger concern now that the Emergency Health Services Life Flight helicopter lands on a helipad next to the lower parking lot.

The Department of Health said last week that Transport Canada informed the company operating EHS LifeFlight on April 1 it would no longer be allowed to land at hospital helipads located near densely populated areas in Halifax and Digby.

The helicopter is now landing in Halifax at a Transport Canada certified helipad near the Point Pleasant Park parking lot. Since the beginning of April, there have been 28 landings there.

Police said they will monitor the activities in the lot and ticket drivers if they need to. They also encourage nearby resident to report any suspicious activity by calling police at 902-490-5020.
