Drug Paraphernalia, Trash, Vandalism Force Closure Of San Rafael Park
SAN RAFAEL (CBS SF) -- Starting on Monday, a San Rafael park will be closed for 30 days to address "health and security issues" that have come up from illegal activity, according to city officials.
The city's community services director authorized the temporary closure of Boyd Memorial Park that has become the site of littering, abandoned drug paraphernalia and vandalism, officials said.
Over the next month the park will be cleaned and city officials will work to enforce ordinances to help restore public access to the facility.
The City Council is expected to hear a report at its Feb. 2 meeting on short- and long-term goals for the site.
