The Town, members of the community and the Sheriff’s Office have worked hard to make Sunken Park a family friendly, safe environment in town. Drug use in any park will absolutely not be tolerated. With summer beginning, our parks and public spaces must be safe for residents and visitors to enjoy.

The deputies are making regular checks in efforts to deter and address issues in the parks. Work with us by reporting suspicious and illegal activities. Our parks and public spaces are for all to enjoy. Let’s continue to work together to keep them safe.”
