SAFETY IN THE PARKS

While out and about in the parks, our Ranger Division would like to remind you of a few safety tips and rules for everyone to have the most enjoyable experience. 

• Do not leave valuables inside your vehicle in plain sight. Properly secure your belongings or leave them at home.
• Carry your cell phone or have a buddy join you while exercising in the parks.
• Speed limit in ALL parks is 15 mph, be vigilant and watch for pedestrians.
• Dogs are required to be on a leash at all times and owners are responsible for removing pet waste.
• No motorized vehicles, including golf carts, on trails, sidewalks or grass.
• Please be sure all fires within a barbecue pit are extinguished prior to leaving.
• Please be courteous to other park visitors by picking up your litter and avoiding disruptive behavior.
• Keeping your cell phone close can not only save your life in an emergency but also aid in saving the lives of others. 

To report a suspicious person, activity or vehicle of concern, call the St. Charles Police/Ranger Dispatch at (636) 949-3300. We appreciate all eyes and ears within the parks and welcome comments. General observations can be made by calling the St. Charles Parks and Recreation Department's Administration Office at (636)949-3372. For immediate emergency response to report fire, medical emergency or a crime in progress, dial 9-1-1.
