1 /5 Abrar Khan: Beautiful Park, But Safety and Hostility Are Serious Concerns
Lick Creek Park is a beautiful place with great trails and scenery — no doubt about that. But unfortunately, the experience is overshadowed by a hostile atmosphere toward certain parkgoers and a complete lack of security measures.
I had a disturbing incident where my vehicle window was smashed in broad daylight, and items were stolen — all within an hour. There are no visible security cameras, no signage warning about theft, and no clear protocol for preventing or addressing these types of incidents. What’s worse, the tension and judgment from nearby visitors and lack of support from park staff made the entire experience feel unsafe and unwelcoming.
This park has so much potential, but until there’s a real investment in basic safety and community respect, I can’t recommend it.
