This is from Kevin Briski from the Parks Department. No one interested downtown? Brittingham? James Madison? Period Garden?
Dear Mayor & Common Council Members: As many of you know, the Madison Parks Division and the Madison Police Department are working in collaboration to start a new Parks Watch program. This program is modelled on the Neighborhood Watch Program, but will focus on parks. After launching the program a month ago, we’ve received several inquiries from residents in wishing to join the Parks Watch.
One collective training session will be held this fall. In the spring, we will resume the publicity of the program and the training.
Fall Training Session: Wednesday, October 29, 7:00p.m. – East Police District Station, 809 S. Thompson Drive
I encourage you all to invite your residents to this training session, and to even attend yourself!
For your reference, the following is a list of parks that had a resident call and sign up for this first training: Kennedy Park, Heritage Heights Park, BB Clarke Beach, Lake Edge Park, Yahara Place Park, Heistand & Elver Parks, Lerdahl Park, High Point Park, Carpenter-Ridgeway Park.
