To deter vandalism and crime and promote community safety, the Board of Directors hired Medrano Surveillance to install surveillance cameras in the park and around the main building.
Using the high-resolution images, the directors determined the identity of two vandals and sent a representative to talk to the boy’s parents.
The park is closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. A loudspeaker on the camera warns violators, “You are under surveillance.”
