Eagle Canyon City Park Over the past month, there has been a sharp increase in reported sightings of raccoons in the open spaces of the park. The park rangers suspect the creatures are attracted by food scraps that are left—whether on purpose or accidentally—by visitors to the park. — [i] —. The city's public health department does not want to encourage the raccoons to leave the wooded areas of the park as they can be carriers of disease and pose a risk to visitors and their pets. — [2] —. With that in mind: - Please do not leave any garbage in the park—either take it with you when you leave, or place it in the closed garbage bins that are provided throughout the park.
- If you see raccoons, do not approach them or give them food as they are wild animals with sharp claws and can be dangerous when they feel frightened.
— [3] — Along with this, we will be holding volunteer park cleanups on the last Saturday of each month. Our next one is scheduled for June 27. Anyone interested in taking part should report to the park visitor center to register. — [4] —. All participants will be provided with protective gloves and vests, water, and a light lunch. |
