Birds vs. big houses: the sanctuary question

Look, we are a Sanctuary City:  for birds!  Earlier today, City Council and the Parks department was put on the spot as to why homeowners who live along the Bird Sanctuary near Memorial Park are basically allowed to use the sanctuary as their own backyard.  Mainly, there are about a dozen homes whose own lawn shares a border line with the sanctuary.  One of the women who actually lives there is complaining her some of her neighbors are mowing the grass, and putting up a hammock in what is technically city property.  Instead of respecting land deeded by the Hogg Foundation, the neighbors are using the land as their own property.. for free.. forget the birds.  As you can imagine, some folks are not so happy about it.. and demanding that the Parks department do a little more than just send angry letters and putting up "do not mow" signs....  Will that happen? Well first, the city is trying to figure out whether to let some of the sanctuary be used to hold some construction equipment.
