RATIONALE

Glenfair Park, is a 5.08 acre neighborhood park located at NE 154th Ave & Davis St. In the past few years, crime, disorder and misuse of Glenfair Park facilities has increased including incidents of unlawful drug and alcohol use, “shots fired,” unauthorized after-hours use, littering and damage to park areas. Many of these problems occur during hours of darkness and negatively impact the park and the immediate neighborhood areas. The proposed rule is supported by the Glenfair Neighborhood Association and park neighbors. This measure is one among others being implemented at Glenfair Park to prevent and manage park misuse.
