Tumut resident Lyn Piper has stayed at Wilks Park on and off over the years, typically if she or her husband require treatment at Wagga Base Hospital.

During her time there, Mrs Piper said she met many people living rough at the park.

"Last time I was here, actually, we got to talking with one homeless gentleman, he's 71, and he's ended up coming home with us," she said.

"We gave him a roof over his head, fresh sheets and towels and access to amenities as we live on a farm so we have the space."

The concerns of eviction come after numerous residents at Wilks Park said they were told to either move on or pay a $700 fine.

Wagga City Council said in a statement they were working with the lead agency in charge of the situation - Department of Communities and Justice - to support alternative living arrangements for homeless residents given a 72-hour stay limit on the park.

Mrs Piper said all it took was taking the time to have a chat and showing everyone the same level of respect.

"I have plenty of things, more than enough, and I believe in sharing so why not," she said.

"He's been a great help around the property too, for instance now he's there looking after the garden and such while we're away.

"He's become part of the family, and I think if more people gave those doing it tough the time of day and respect, it would be a far better situation we found ourselves in."

While not all have been lucky enough to find their living situation turned around for the better, Mrs Piper said those at Wilks Park should not be left to fear being moved on.

"I feel for the homeless, the majority of them are harmless, and those that aren't should be dealt with on a case by case basis," she said.

"You can't just have a blanket rule when people have such different situations and reasons for being there."

Mrs Piper said those in charge should be working to help keep the park safe and tidy for all residents.

"I do think there needs to be more done to help clean the place up ... to be honest, the last two months the toilets have been disgusting, absolutely horrifying, but that's an entirely different issue to homelessness.

"If these people are keeping their space tidy, behaving and just getting about their lives, instead of kicking them out, help them continue to live here."
