Community rallies for Stewart Creek Park cleanup effort

In a recent government meeting, officials addressed ongoing issues at Stewart Creek Park following recent storms. The park remains partially closed as water levels have not fully receded, leaving behind significant debris and trash. To tackle this problem, a community cleanup event is scheduled for Saturday from 8 AM to 10 AM, encouraging residents to bring trash bags and rakes to assist city staff who have been actively working on debris removal.

City representatives emphasized the importance of community involvement in maintaining the park's cleanliness, especially in light of complaints regarding visitor behavior. Increased enforcement of park rules is also planned to address these concerns.

For those interested in volunteering or seeking more information about the cleanup, residents are advised to contact the city manager's office. The meeting also included a brief mention of an upcoming update from the city attorney regarding issues related to squatters, indicating a proactive approach to various community challenges.
