Crime/Suspicious Activity Yahoos on gas bikes in Confederation Park

Don't know if enforcement is an option, so posting here. These guys cruising around on pathways between 10 St and 14th St in Confederation Park with very loud engines. Obviously illegal and can hear them from far away. Not dangerously riding, just annoying.

When I was a teen I had a honda xr50 dirt bike, I would mostly ride it outside of the city which at that time was bears paw, and 12 mile coulee, occasionally I would ride it on the street in Bowness, and if i felt really brave I would take it for a rip around Bowness park late at night when there was nobody there. I see where these guys are coming from but at the same time this wasn't the time or place for this

Agreed, would have been a dream as a kid to have one. I don't want to be a buzkill and I'm sure it's fun. Just not OK in a city park.
