WTKRCHESAPEAKE, Va. — Roosevelt Memorial Park is facing increasing criticism regarding its allegedly poor maintenance and operations from both local families and city officials.
Delegate Cliff Hayes, who has personal ties to the cemetery, voiced his dismay over its current condition, saying, "the grass is being overgrown; there are more areas not being seeded; there’s no grass, just the dirt that’s there."
Hayes' grandparents are buried in Roosevelt Memorial Park. He believes the site requires more care.
"It is extremely disrespectful," he said.
