Police report new signage and says problem park golfer was trespassed
Summary
The police department reported new building signage and plans for nonemergency door notices; officers said a golf player using profanity and producing long shots at Nelson Park has been formally trespassed to protect neighbors and families.
The police representative reported the department has placed new signage at its building and will add door signs with nonemergency contact information and an employee/public entrance marker.
The officer also described a repeat problem at Nelson Park: a golfer using colorful language and driving full-distance shots that entered neighbors’ yards. "He has been formally trespassed," the officer said, and council members discussed encouraging the use of foam practice balls or wedges for tight spaces to reduce safety risks to nearby residents.
Council thanked the street department and the officer for arranging signage and asked parks staff to consider additional safety messaging and signage for park users.
