The Eagle Eye Neighborhood Park Watch Program

community involvement.
PLEASE REPORT ALL SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES!
Emergencies: 911
Non-Emergencies & Suspicious Activities:
630-513-4343 (Park Safety Office)
In order for this program to be most effective, it
must rely on citizen participation and support. While

on activities taking place in the parks, staff cannot
be everywhere all the time. Therefore, we ask all
residents to help keep an Eagle Eye on your parks.
