A children's party held last Sunday (30th) occupied practically the entire soccer field of Praça Pio XI, in Jardim Botânico, in Rio de Janeiro, restricting the access of other frequenters to the space. Nearby residents reported that there were noise complaints since 8 in the morning.
After the end of the event, cups, cans, packaging and other waste were scattered throughout the square. A video made at the location recorded the dirt left after the party, showing the trail of destruction caused by the event.
The occupation of the small field caused indignation among the neighbors of the location. They state that the square, very frequented by families with children, usually hosts parties and other events, but that there is a concern to preserve the collective use of the space and previously communicate about its holding.
According to the residents, the space is public and must be agreed upon with the neighborhood about its use. The article mentions that there are rules for events in public squares, although the article does not detail what those specific rules are.
