PARK SECURITY LIGHTING AN OVERVIEW Park security lighting should be present at each park during all dark hours to deter vandalism. Here is an inventory of security lighting currently used in the parks: III LAMBERT - One lamp (Cobra) on a telephone pole located on the southwest side of the tot lot. GROVELAND - Two lamps (Cobra) , one on a telephone pole lighting the tot lot and the other attached to a tennis court pole lighting the center of the park. A photo cell security light is attached above the park building on the street side. WOODCREST - A photo cell security light is attached above the park building door on the street side. OAKWOOD - There are no security lights in Oakwood Park at this time nor are there any facilities. HILLVIEW - Plans include a photo cell lamp in the center of the park , off the northeast side of the building shining towards the building/tot lot area. Also, a security light will be attached above the park building doors on both sides. RANDOM - Two pairs of photo cell yard lights are attached to the building. The front lights next to the front door shines on the parking lot and one on the entry ramp. The other pair is attached 111 above the north side door and shines on the entry walk. CITY HALL PARK - City Hall park includes a light above the large shelter building. Also, the front of City Hall parking lot is lit when in use. Since the police department is so close to the tot lot , it really does not require security lighting. GREENFIELD - Greenfield has no security lighting. Once the tennis lights are off , it is as black as the night. SILVER VIEW - Silver View Park has no security lighting . . . nor lighting of any kind. It is dark ! Electricity to this park will be expensive since electrical connections must come from long distances. ARDAN - Ardan Park has no security lighting or lighting of any kind. I believe that the priority for park security lighting should be: Greenfield , and Silver View Park. Greenfield Park has had the most frequent vandalism and hoodlum incidences. The park has three access points. I suggest that at a minimum, security lighting be installed at all access points. (See map) . 411 Silver View is another dark park which has seen frequent vandalism. It ' s lack of facilities offers little to vandalize, but once facilities are installed, security must be offered. The parking lot must be lit in several locations. Also, all tour access points must be lit. This is security lighting at a minimum.
