"We were just dancing around, listening to music, singing, and my friend just kind of yelped and was like, Oh my God," Oakes told 7 News.
When asked for her reaction to these incidents, she said, "I felt sick to my stomach. It's really horrifying that I can't even just feel at peace in the park, without somebody lurking on you like that."
Oakes described two different encounters in her conversation with 7 News. You can listen to that full conversation and see the video her friend recorded of the man directly below.
Park visitors had mixed reactions when 7 News Reporter Maki Becker spoke with them about the incidents.
"It seems like a sign that that person probably needs help. They probably need to get into a better situation to not expose themselves to people," Perry Hill said.
Another visitor, Bev, offered practical advice: "It could happen any place and you can't let that ruin your life."
"Enjoy your life, but be careful and vigilant," Bev said.
