Harbor Park has fallen to neglect and disrepair. It holds many others attempts for cleaning and securing the grounds. However, due to the area that it falls in and a lack of civic concern it has fallen through the cracks. The scent of the Columbia River is intense while gangs tag the area. It is a known place for teenagers to go to get into trouble with loitering and crime being high through the area. It is not uncommon for there to be gun shots and claims of violent attacks.
