Do you park illegally at Glenlake Park?  You may want to read the following message from Decatur Deputy Police Chief Keith Lee…

The Decatur Police Department has recently received complaints about illegal parking in Glenlake Park. After consulting with members of the Decatur Active Living Department it became apparent that these parking violations hinder the ability of emergency vehicles to efficiently respond to critical incidents. Additionally, the misuse of handicap accessible parking spaces prevent their use by authorized drivers. Effective Monday March 12, 2012 the Decatur Police Department will begin issuing parking citations to illegally parked vehicles in the park. Patrons of Glenlake Park are encouraged to utilize the on-street parking available on Church Street. Additional parking is located in the Decatur Cemetery. There is a convenient walking path connecting Glenlake Park to the cemetery. The cemetery is open daily until 7:00 pm.
