Help
to
safe
this
beautiful
place!
Don't
be
negligent
to
damages!
Verona
Park
is
my
favorite
place
to
take
a
walk
and
enjoy
the
nature
and
wildlife
there.
I
have
always
taken
pride
in
my
community
and
appreciated
how
well
the
county
maintains
the
local
parks
and
reservation
areas.
And
it
very
painful
to
see
how
this
beautiful
park
is
suffering
from
cruel
damages
of
its
fields.
This
damage
first
started
a
year
and
a
half
ago
(Spring/Summer
2020)
and
it
continues
happening
now
(see
recent
pictures)
It
was
time
when
the
Verona
Police,
NJ
State
Police
and
the
Essex
County
Sherriff’s
Office
officers
frequently
drove
through
the
grassy
areas
and
fields,
which
cause
significant
damage
to
the
environment.
There
was
at
least
one
instance
where
a
police
cruiser
got
stuck.
When
this
occurs,
the
damage
is
even
worse:
instead
of
requesting
help,
they
dig
their
wheels
further
into
the
dirt
in
an
attempt
to
get
out.
There
is
a
wide
enough
asphalted
path
for
a
police
cruiser
to
drive
on.
In
addition,
park
visitors
let
the
police
vehicles
through
when
they
drive
around
the
park,
so
there
should
not
be
any
need
to
go
off-road.
In
all
of
the
observed
instances,
there
is
no
practical
reason
or
necessity
to
drive
over
or
through
the
field,
aside
from
being
ignorant
and/or
disrespectful
toward
our
community.
I
care
about
our
parks
and
the
environment,
and
I
believe
resolving
the
root
cause
of
this
problem
will
not
only
help
to
preserve
Verona
Park,
but
also
help
the
police
repair
its
reputation
in
the
community.
