Park Safety Tips

Important tips for you, your family and friends to have a safe, fun and enjoyable park experience.

Things you can do to keep you and your park safe

• Be Aware of Your Surroundings – Be vigilant and aware of where you are and who is around you.
• Call 911 in an emergency or if using a cell phone call (916) 732-0100.
• Call (916) 808-5011 to report non-emergency concerns or issues.
• Do not leave anything visible or valuable in you car, not even in your trunk.
• Closely supervise your children as they play in the park.
• Only use park equipment and/or facilities for the intended purpose.
• On hot days, drink plenty of water.

Walking, Jogging and Biking

• Own the path, project confidence and strength.

• Pedestrians should walk or jog facing oncoming traffic.
• Go with a friend.
• Wear proper safety equipment, bright clothing, helmet when biking, proper footwear, etc.
• Obey all traffic laws and/or trail rules.

Trust your instincts. If it does not seem right, request help from others or report emergencies by calling 911 or (916) 732-0100 from a cell phone. For non-emergencies, call (916) 808-5011.
