Unfortunately, Vandalism Strikes Again

Dear TrailMark Residents,

TrailMark Park and Hogback Hill Park are quite special to all of us who live here. It’s sure a treat to go play on the new playground or the soccer field, and not have to leave TrailMark.

Sadly, some vandals think it’s fun to destroy TrailMark Park and pull the dog waste bag sign out of the ground and leave it for folks to trip over while walking the trails. This is now the 2nd reported incident of vandalism at TrailMark Park in the past month. I was able to put it back in the ground until SSPR can fix it.

I’m only one homeowner out of 799 homes here in TrailMark, and I don’t think it’s cool or funny to destroy private property. In fact, looking at my property taxes this year, I see that $476.15 of my hard earned money went to South Suburban Parks and Rec (SSPR) to help maintain our parks.

I’m sure if vandalism continues, the SSPR mill levy will most likely rise in the near future which will end up costing all of us more money. Our community is calling on our fellow neighbors to please be vigilant.

If you see suspicious activity, destructive behavior, or someone vandalizing our parks, please report it to the SSPR Ranger at 303-435-8227. The Ranger is on call 24/7/365. You may also report it to Littleton Police at 303-794-1551.

Being willing to speak up is beneficial to all of us because it helps eliminate vandalism, keeps our parks safe for our children, and helps keep our property taxes down. If you see something, say something.

Thank you all in advance for helping us maintain the beauty of TrailMark.
