Give our children somewhere to go and have fun in a safe environment . Give our children something to be proud of in our own community . let the city or police department work together to asign a security detail or a safety booth inside the park with camars with bike patrol safety officers . their presents along will stop the bad behavior from coming to the park . let make all of Palmdale beautiful from our parks and roads . we need , love , unity and patience to improve our city . East Palmdale should be a reflection of West Palmdale in every way .

To use a Laura Bettencoutt line of thinking…. “why should we care when we don’t live on that side of town”
OKFine says
Oh…that’s going to leave a mark.

To many drug dealer’s!!!! Anything done at that park will only make people of all color flock to the park of #!%; to score. Nothing will change.
Richard May says
How about building the park on the Westside at 35th and Towncenter Dr?
Been in planning stages for 10+ years.
Dave says
Lived 52 years Palmdale ! Kids need out door activities . Park has great memories. Maybe extra safety patrols ?
Stinger says
I recommend inclusion of a LOT enhanced CPTED in the project. Courson Park ain’t exactly known for its safety. This could help to change that.
Community Input says
Close it down.
Brian says
They just spent Millions on the new Pool and Rec. building and you want to close it down? That doesn’t make sense.
Salty says
Or……. it didn’t make sense to spend millions to upgrade a facility in an unsafe area. Either works.
