Park Pals Program
Your parks need you! The Park Pals Program is an effort to more effectively communicate with the patrons and neighbors of our parks. We look forward to the opportunity to work together with you to improve our parks and foster a sense of pride and cooperation in our neighborhoods.

What does a Park Pal do?
Park Pals serve as the guardians of our parks by acting as the “eyes and ears” of their community. Because a resident knows their neighborhood best, you are ideally suited to keep watch over your park and alert the proper authorities of any situation that may arise.
Park Pals will be asked to report to the proper authorities. For example...
- Criminal behaviors, vandalism or acts of violence are reported to the police.
- Arson, fire or medical emergencies are reported to the fire department.
- Off leash, loose or injured animals are reported to animal control.
Incidents to report to your park liaison include:
- Any emergency as previously listed after proper authorities have been notified.
- Presence of litter, garbage dumping or broken glass.
- Graffiti or vandalism to park equipment or facilities.
- Moving of picnic tables, trash cans or other park equipment
- Broken or burnt out security and parking lot lighting.
- Damaged or unsafe equipment, fencing or facilities.
- Destruction of natural resources.
- Fallen limbs or hazard trees in park or along trail.
- Violations of park rules or being in park after hours.
- Suggestions for park improvements or needed additions and any other comments or concerns as they arise.
