After giving a fair warning, the Algoma Parks Committee has decided to close the late afternoons of Perry Park due to a littering and vandalism problem.  The Parks and Recreation Department warned the public in late May that if the issues persisted, measures would be taken.  Director Sara Robertson explains the decision. 

Robertson adds that the Parks Department is looking into putting up surveillance cameras at Perry Park to identify the perpetrators.  The summer parks program will have a spotlight on the parks and the importance of keeping them clean.  Perry Park will now be temporarily closed from 3:30 PM until 8:00 AM the next morning.
