Board outlines cleanup plan after resident complaint about Gerald Richards Park
Summary
Board members discussed a resident email describing trash and broken glass at Gerald Richards Park. Township staff said public works will check the park more frequently, user groups will be asked to assist, and new cameras are being pursued to deter vandalism.
A resident email about litter and unsafe conditions at Gerald Richards Park prompted the Parks and Recreation Board to discuss cleanup steps and prevention measures.
Administrative Assistant Samantha Cronrath summarized township actions: she has contacted Rolling Hills for assistance, asked public works to check the park more frequently, requested scouts and user groups (soccer club and little league) to assist with cleanups, and said the township is working to install new cameras to help address vandalism. Board member Brian Ward noted broken glass in the parking lot is a recurring issue and said the soccer board clears glass most Saturdays; Van Bramer requested additional trash cans and supported a monthly cleanup by user groups. Cronrath said she would contact the resident with the planned actions and requested written commitments from groups.
