Since Pokémon GO exploded on the scene, Discovery Green has been one of the top local spots to catch 'em all, but that could change after the park's conservancy requested the game's makers to remove all "stops, lures and creatures" from the green space.

The park is run by the Discovery Green Conservancy, a nonprofit, and in the group's statement, released Thursday, they emphasize that it's "not a city park." The nonprofit says that the game and its players have "substantially increased the foot traffic in the park," which sounds like a great thing for a park, except they say it's getting in the way of the 600 yearly events the nonprofit plans. "While much of the Pokémon activity is very positive, the park has seen a significant increase in costs related to trash pickup, facility maintenance, additional overnight security, landscape and other unforeseen expenses for the park," the statement reads.

Since the park released the statement, a spate of negative, one-star reviews on Facebook has begun to tarnish what was once essentially a perfect review score. "You would think with the Super Bowl coming, they would want others, not just us fellow Houstonians, to come visit their space, but requesting poke stops to be removed is like spitting in the face of Houstonians," one commenter, Vann Hibberts, wrote. "I had never been to this park before the Pokemon go app was released, and when it finally does happen, I'm sure myself and others will never return back. Sucks that a few bad apples ruined the experience. There goes revenue that you would have had. Now the park can be 'clean' as well as empty. Way to go #majorfail."
