PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT: Beware of Snakes

Post Date:05/13/2026 10:59 AM
⚠️ PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT ⚠️
Please use extra caution at our Sports Park and all city parks. As temperatures rise, rattlesnakes are becoming more active in grassy areas, trails, landscaped spaces, and near rocks or brush.
🐍 Safety Tips:
• Stay on designated walkways and trails
• Watch where you step, sit, or place your hands
• Keep children and pets close at all times
• Do not approach, disturb, or attempt to move a snake
• If you hear a rattle, slowly back away and leave the area immediately
Most rattlesnake bites occur when people try to handle or interact with the snake. Please respect wildlife and remain alert while enjoying our parks.
If bitten:
• Stay calm
• Call 911 or seek emergency medical attention immediately
• Do NOT apply a tourniquet or attempt to remove venom
Thank you for helping keep our community safe. Please share this reminder with family and friends enjoying our parks. 🐍🌳
