Adults shouting in play area in my road. Can’t relax

I live in a road with a play area in the middle of it. Currently closed as refurbishing it. Padlocks to gates. About two hours ago, a group of 8 young adults, jumped over the fence, mucked about and sitting in the play area, shouting, playing music at full volume. I think they are drunk or under influence of something. They are pissing me off. I have tried to go to other rooms the other side of my home to the park. Still can hear them with my tv or music playing.

Never seen them before or individually. Worried that they might be there night after night. That happened before with other groups, which had been children,

A neighbour said contacted police and said they would not be going unless gets worse (violence, abusing the other people in the street)

How can I switch off when my lounge is overlooking the play area?

I would say you can’t do much except ignore it at the moment (easier said than done I know!)

But it’s not late, they’re hopefully going to get bored and move on soon since not from the local area and you’ll just aggravate them and risk them getting worse/causing trouble for you if you try to intervene with a load of drunk adults being loud already.

If they’re being anti-social (which does include loud music and also public drinking if you can see them with any cans/bottles) then I would also give the police a call (on 101 mind you, not 999) to report them. If they’re not, then not much to do other than close your blinds/curtains, crank your television or radio up a tad more and try and ignore! In terms of worrying that they’ll keep coming back, you just need to wait and see. There’s no point in worrying about that just now as you don’t know that will happen.

Get one of those high pitched speakers only audible to the young

You can call the council about the noise after a certain time. It’s often 10pm. Depends on where you live.
