Promoting
parks and open space, recreation programs and conservation values has become a
major responsibility of all recreation and park professionals. Providing
fun, family-oriented activities in a safe and wholesome environment has posed a
challenge to even the most creative among us. Gang membership and drug use
are on the rise. Acts of vandalism have increased. Youth crime rates
have skyrocketed. The need to address these challenges and rediscover the
value of recreation in our lives led to the creation of the Eagle Eye
Neighborhood Park
Watch Program.
MISSION STATEMENT
The Eagle Eye Neighborhood Park Watch Program is an effort to prevent crime and vandalism to playground and park equipment, to alleviate suspicious activities in parks, and to promote public awareness for parks, recreation and conservation agencies.
The Eagle Eye goals are to:
-
Create awareness of activities in public parks.
-
Instill strong park, recreation and conservation values in our children and encourage them to be responsible citizens.
-
Develop a sense of ownership for neighborhood parks, recreation areas and facilities.
-
Empower citizens who use parks and park facilities, thereby making them feel comfortable, safe and proud.
-
Decrease incidents of vandalism, crime, misuse of park properties and related costs.
-
Increase public awareness, cooperation and communication among law enforcement, citizens, community organizations, park districts, forest preserves and recreation agencies.
