Thefts from cars in City parks... Please don't leave valuables in your cars while utilizing parks - recent thefts.

We have seen an uptick in thefts from cars in City parks over the last 10 days... Please don't leave valuables in your unattended cars while utilizing parks.

In most instances the cars were unlocked. In one instance the driver was not sure if it had locked.

The four recent incidents have occurred at cars parked at North Park, Liberty Park and Muse Park between 4:00 - 8:00 p.m.on week nights. They occurred while the vehicle owners were walking or jogging in the parks.

Report suspicious activity to Police.

Outside of a new playspace for the kids, is there anything else you could see as a potential project for improving Conger Park?

Conger Park is a wonderful park with lots of shade trees! It could definately use some updating and more picnic areas! I think a paved walking trail around the park would be great for walkers and little bikers alike!!! It would be a great practice area for the little kids learning to ride!

Love this playground because it is so close to our home. I have had one of my children's birthday parties there and the kids had a great time.

It's a great place centrally located in midtown. I miss the pool as well. It was a great place to cool off.

Such memories of this wonderful park with the mature shade trees!! With some attention, this park could be to a new generation what it was to my generation and I'd love to see the grant be awarded here.

I know we have the "movie in the park" at Liberty Park, but why couldn't we have it in Conger park? I think the stage area would be a great place to show movies. What do you guys think?
