Parkallen News Welcome to summer in Parkallen In this issue: Summer in the park: keep it clean Important update from the 109 street ARP Summer fun in the park: camps, spray deck, and more! Block party! Join your community league Local Motion Part II The arrival of summer brings more people out to enjoy our wonderful park. Unfortunately, it can also bring littering, loitering, and misuse. Here are some tips to keep our park clean and safe.
Report suspicious behaviour If you see any suspicious behaviour in the park, please report it; be prepared to provide descriptions of individuals involved. If you see a crime in progress, call 911; otherwise, call the Edmonton Police Department’s complaint line: 780-423-4567. Did you know that city parks are closed after 11 p.m., and that there is a fine for being there after hours? If you see individuals in the park after hours, you are encouraged to report that as well. If you have any questions or concerns, or would like more information on crime prevention, you can email our community constables, Paul Sinclair and Mike Elliot, at southwestcommunityC2@edmontonpolice.ca. Or visit www.edmontonpolice.ca. Garbage Bins are provided throughout the park; please pick up garbage others have left behind if it is safe to do so. If you see broken glass, biohazards, or any other material that puts the public at risk, call 311 and ask that a City of Edmonton parks maintenance crew be sent out to clean it up. Dog owners! We now have a “Doggie Doo Bag Dispenser” in the park. Our goal is a safe, welcoming, community park. Let’s work together to create and protect this environment.
