  • Park Safety Program Progress Report & Future Considerations
    Park Safety Program Progress Report & Future Considerations 1 Background 1.23 Achieve rating of “Very Satisfied” or “Satisfied” with the “Feeling of Safety in Parks” greater than or equal to the top 10% of the national benchmark cities as measured in the Community Survey In October 2018, a pilot Parks Security Program was implemented using the existing G4S contract; program concluded in late June 2020. At October 1st, 2020 WSS, City Staff was directed to evaluate and begin work on developing a long-term park security solution and re- activate the G4S Park Security Program to serve as a “security services bridge” until the permanent solution could be enacted. 2 Update: Security Bridge Timeline • Since last WSS, work began on re-implementation of G4S Park Security Program. • At last WSS meeting, the estimated timeline for full-scale G4S deployment with the same level of service delivery and coverage was approximately 1-month so that training, equipping, and appropriate staffing could be re-achieved. • Full-scale security deployment back into the parks is set to begin on November 5, 2020. It is believed this will have an immediate and positive impact on the feeling of safety in our parks. • Estimated cost for 1-year (November 1, 2020 – October 31, 2021) of G4S security services is: $441,965 3 Update: Park Security Program • Since last WSS, initial planning meeting(s) and consultation meetings have been conducted within & between the Police Department, Human Resources, Parks and Recreation, and Human Services. • In an assessment of needs and costs, a LOW financial estimate to bringing back a full-scale Park Ranger Program would cost 1.5 to 2 million dollars (salary, benefits, equipment, vehicles).

In 1986 the effort became focused when the International Olympic Committee recognized squash and the World Squash Federation applied for inclusion in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Campaigns have occurred ever since, in particular for the Beijing 2008, London 2012 and Rio 2016, as well as for the next three upcoming Summer Games. SThe push for the Olympics, however, often overshadows squash’s inclusion in numerous other international multi-sport events, some that you might know well and others slightly more obscure. Squash will be featured this month in the quadrennial Pan Ameri- can Games in Lima, and also the Pacific Games in Samoa and the Island Games in Gibraltar. Later this year, there is the African Games in Morocco in August, and the Southeast Asian Games in Philippines and the South Asian Games in Nepal in December. Many thousands of squash players, from top PSA professionals to amateurs of all ages, play in these games, building friendships and adding to their home nation’s medal count. The exposure of squash to wider audiences is tremendous, with media attention in the host and participating nations. The facilities that get built are fabulous legacies, particularly for host cities that are slightly off the beaten squash track—for example, the courts in Cartagena that were built for the 2006 Central PHOTO: © R.

Graphic Arts Center Publishing Co., Portland. Chapter 4. Save the Redwoods! Naturalists had explored the forests of the north coast region and some, including John Mur, were especially impressed by the extraordinary stand of redwoods alongside the South Fork of the Eel River at bull Creek and the nearby Dyerville Flat. These experts agreed that the coast redwood forest was at its magnificent best far to the north of San Francisco. Some authorities went so far as to say that the Bull Creek and Dyerville Flat area supported the most impressive and spectacular forest in the whole world…. In 1916 and 1917 several developments took place that would eventually have a profound impact on the north coast redwood region in general and the Bull Creek-Dyerville Flat area in particular.

    Perception of Personal Safety in Urban Recreation Sites l Herbert W. Schroeder and L. M. Anderson ABSTRACT: Photograph of 17 urban recreation sites in Chicago and Atlanta were evaluated by college students (n = 68) in Illinois, Georgia, and Michigan, for either perceived securig, scenic qualily, or both. For most raters, high visibilig and developed park features significantly enhanced per- ceived securily. Scenic qualily, on the other hand, was enhanced for the major- ily of evaluators by a high degree of naturalness and vegetation. For both per- ceived safely and scenic qualily, a small minorig of raters held prefeences quite diJierent from the majorily. KEYWORDS: Urban parks, crime, public safely, scenic qualily. AUTHORS: Herbert W. Schroeder is with the North Central Forest Experiment Station; L. M. Anderson is with the Southeastern Forest Experiment Station. Journal of Leisure Research, 1984 Volume 16, Number 2, pp. 178-194. Copyright a 1984 by the National Recreation and Park Associ- ation. Urban parks can provide valuable recreation opportunities for the 70 percent of Americans who reside in cities (USDI 1978). Yet many existing sites are underused, in part because they are often seen as undesirable, threat- ening places where crimes frequently occur ('Jacobs 1961). This article de- scribes an effort to identify characteristics that affect the user's perception of personal safety in public recreation sites. The relation between perceived secu- rity and visual attractiveness will also be addressed, because both factors may be related to visibility in and utilization of park settings (Nasar 1982). 'This investigation was based in part on an informal study initiated in 1975 by Dr.
