Ball Game at Gladys Park Great for Many Reasons

We took a visit to Gladys Park in Skid Row to watch the Central Station LAPD play another game against the Skid Row 3 on 3 League All-Stars. In last year's game Skid Row took it to the LAPD. However, this time around the LAPD got the best of Skid Row. It was a great game and the crowd (including some very interested policemen) were into it. More importantly though, it showed the positive programs that are trying to take root in the much maligned area. The League Commissioner Manuel "OG Man" Compito and his associates put a lot of work into the game and the event and it showed. He states that the game between LAPD and a team that includes some known gang members " is a testament to the great community spirit that Skid Row has." We agree... and look forward to more! For more information about the league and future events or how you can help, you can contact OG Man via email. Here is some of what we saw.
