Park Watch Parks belong to everyone and add tremendous value to the community. Vandalism in Bartlett parks, unfortunately, is on the rise. Parks and Recreation Maintenance Staff has to spend many hours of their time and additional taxpayer dollars repairing the damage.

The objective of Park Watch is to encourage park visitors and neighbors to take a more active role in protecting our parks. Please be alert to safety hazards, vandalism, and suspicious activity. If you observe any of these in parks or greenways, please report what you see to any park employee or call Bartlett Police at 901-385-5555. To report damage, call the Parks Administrative Office at 901-385-5590.

IMPORTANT: If you observe someone committing a crime, do not attempt to take any action yourself. This is a job for the police. The best thing you can do is to note the location, description of the people involved, license numbers of any vehicles, and report the incident as soon as possible.
