点评:I am deeply disappointed by how Sholom Park treats visitors with disabilities. During my recent visits, I was subjected to blatant harassment and public humiliation by staff members patrolling on golf carts.
While the park has a "no pets" policy, federal law protects service animals. Legitimate staff inquiries are permitted, but Sholom Park staff used those rules as a license to bully. On one occasion, a staff member screamed down a public pathway to accuse me of breaking rules, then conducted a loud, sharp interrogation about my service dog in front of a crowd of strangers. After I fully complied and answered their questions, the staff continued to press, hover over me, and lecture me about how "other people lie all the time" about service dogs.
On a previous visit, another individual operating a park golf cart fabricated fake legal rules to shame me, claiming a "real" service dog would be trained never to urinate or defecate anywhere in the park—despite the fact that I was already holding a sealed waste bag heading toward a trash can.
When I reached out to management to report this behavioral misconduct, the response from the administration was completely dismissive. They minimized the public interrogation as standard "policy enforcement" and hid behind technicalities rather than addressing the hostile, accusatory behavior of their representatives.
Enforcing park rules is reasonable, but it must be done with basic human decency and respect for federal civil rights law. Sholom Park is currently a hostile environment for disabled visitors. I no longer feel safe or at ease visiting.
翻译:我对肖洛姆公园对待残疾游客的方式感到极其失望。最近几次到访时,我遭到了骑着高尔夫球车巡逻的工作人员公然的骚扰与羞辱。
虽然公园有“禁止携带宠物”的规定,但联邦法律确实保护服务性动物。工作人员进行合理的询问本无可厚非,但肖洛姆公园的工作人员却借这些规定为借口来欺负人。有一次,一名工作人员在公共通道上冲我大喊,指责我违反了规定。随后,在一群陌生人的面前,他们大声且严厉地盘问有关我的服务犬的情况。在我如实回答了所有问题后,工作人员仍紧逼不放,一直围着我转,还训斥我说“其他人总是在服务犬这件事上撒谎”。
此前有一次,另一位驾驶公园高尔夫球车的工作人员编造了虚假的法规来羞辱我。对方声称,一只“真正的”服务犬应该被训练得绝不在公园内任何地方排尿或排便——尽管当时我手里正拿着一个密封好的排泄物袋,正准备扔进垃圾桶。
当我向管理部门反映这种不当行为时,他们的回应完全漠不关心。他们把这种公然的质问轻描淡写地归结为常规的“政策执行”,还以各种技术细节为借口加以敷衍,而完全无视那种充满敌意的行为。其工作人员的指责性言行。
执行公园规定无可厚非,但必须遵循基本的人道准则并尊重联邦民权法。目前,肖洛姆公园对残障游客而言是一个充满敌意的环境。我再也没有安全感,也不愿前往那里了。
