Crews with the City of Redmond City Parks Division have been faced with an increasing amount of vandalism and graffiti at local park facilities in the past few weeks, forcing them to alter work plans to respond to the damage.
Redmond Police Dept. (RPD) officers routinely patrol our park areas to be a visible presence in an effort dissuade people from vandalism; unfortunately, it only takes a couple of moments for these acts to occur. We’re asking residents to help by notifying us when they see something out of place or can identify who is responsible.
“We have a large number of parks and other facilities our crews need to maintain,” said PCF Operations & Maintenance Manager Dusty Hood. “When we keep diverting staff to handle these problems, it limits our ability to focus on other planned maintenance projects or issues that the public wants to see done.”
Crews have responded to multiple incidents at Sam Johnson Park and American Legion Park in the last two weeks alone. If you have any information or can help us identify those who are responsible, please call RPD’s non-emergency dispatch line at 541-693-6911 or submit a violation online https://www.redmondoregon.gov/reportacrime.
