Glendale park services report notes drain work, graffiti and one vandalism incident
Summary
Park services reported ongoing drain and trail repairs at Duke Majan Wilderness Park, removal of invasive trees, and cleanup of 16 graffiti incidents and one vandalism report in December 2025; staff said about 56 labor hours were used and police responded to a small fire involving trash cans at Brand Park.
Park services staff briefed the commission on maintenance projects and a rise in facility incidents during December 2025.
Staff said crews installed a new channel drain and completed trail work at Duke Majan Wilderness Park and removed invasive acacia trees that were affecting operations; completion was expected once drier weather allowed finishing work. The department emphasized a planned follow‑up after ground conditions improve.
The report also cataloged systemwide incidents in December: 16 reports of graffiti and one report of vandalism. Staff said about 56 labor hours were devoted to cleanup and painting. Examples presented included trash cans set on fire at Brand Park (police were called and staff performed cleanup) and an incident involving "silly string" that required additional cleaning at a facility.
Staff said police (PD) were notified as incidents were discovered and that photos of graffiti were blurred for presentation. The presentation closed with staff offering to answer follow‑up questions.
Commissioners thanked park staff for the maintenance work and the report.
