Bring Your Neighbors to Party in the Park

Sponsored by the Town of Parker
On Tuesday, Aug. 5, neighborhoods throughout Parker are being invited to join forces with thousands of communities nationwide for the 25th Annual National Night Out (NNO) crime and drug prevention event.

From 7 to 10 p.m, residents throughout Parker are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening at O'Brien Park. Parker's NNO event, Party in the Park, will be full of fun activities for the entire family. Bring your friends, neighbors, children, blankets and lawn chairs and come support NNO. The Police Department, Town of Parker, Target and Parker Fire-South Metro Fire Rescue Authority will have a variety of booths set up for everyone to enjoy including an interactive CSI Booth, face painting, sticker tattoos and visits from police officers and firemen. The Parker Police Explorers will be selling drinks as a fundraiser. At 8:30 p.m. a family friendly movie will begin on a 26-foot screen. Free popcorn will be available. This event is sponsored by the Town of Parker and Target.

National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; generate support for, and participation in, local anti-crime efforts; strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships and send a message to criminals letting them know neighborhoods are organizing and fighting back.
