Wall South No Go for Pokemon Go

The City of Pensacola asks Pokemon Go players to not hunt Pokemon at Veterans Memorial Park:

City of Pensacola is asking players of the viral smart-phone game Pokemon Go to refrain from playing in Veterans Memorial Park. We encourage people to visit the park, but please do not trivialize the memorial by making it part of the game. We have 92 other parks that are “free game” for gamers.

This memorial is dedicated to the memories of those who sacrificed their lives in the defense of this nation. As such, we encourage visitors to be respectful. We are in contact with game developers in an attempt to have the memorial park removed from the game.
