Stop Vandalism in City Parks
Park departments are strategizing to stop vandalism in city parks. Park vandalism has become a major issue in most cities.
St. John’s County recently started a campaign, “Enjoy, Don’t Destroy”, due to park vandalism costing them about $75,000.
Park Vandalism eats away at the assets the Park Department has conscientiously designed, found the funds for, and lovingly created. A well-created park with the latest equipment budgets anywhere from $100,000 to an upwards of millions of dollars.
Keeping the park free from vandalism means more than cleaning and repairing the damage.
Modifying the behavior of the vandals themselves is needed to stop park vandalism. Parks need to have a Park Vandalism Program.
- Suitable Lighting
- Neighborhood Programs and Interests
- On Site Administrators
- Routinely Check the Property and Equipment
- Rapidly Remove Vandalism and Graffiti
- Public Instruction
Most importantly, implement behavior modification Park Vandalism Systems.
Park Vandalism Systems are specifically designed to stop anti-social behavior, like vandalism and graffiti, before it happens.
