Community Vandalism and Graffiti Problem

In recent months we have seen an increase in vandalism and graffiti in our community.  This includes damage to fields and common areas from vehicles, graffiti in the skate park and other areas, and port-o-lets being tipped over.  Graffiti has a significant negative impact on the community.  Vandalism increases the community’s perception of crime, reduces community pride and displaces funds which could be spent elsewhere.

Since 2022 the Metro District has spent more than $13,000 removing graffiti and repairing or replacing damaged property in our  community. This does not include the recent graffiti at the skate park area or damage at the Community Park bathroom structure.  For reference, the $13,000 represents money that could have been spent elsewhere to improve district facilities.

Your Metro District is asking for your help.

If you see vandalism happening, call 911 to report it.  
- The police need to know when vandalism is happening so they can increase patrols in impacted areas and catch those responsible.​

If you see vandalism after it has happened call our Business Manager at 303-987-0835.
- Reporting allows us to quickly address vandalism and remove graffiti
- Rapid removal is a “best practice” in reducing graffiti and can take away the thrill that vandals get in seeing their vandalism on display.

Metro District property is community property.  The parks, playgrounds, ballfields, and open space are for our enjoyment. Help us protect our shared property.  We are committed to reducing the occurrence of this destruction as well as increasing the likelihood of detection and apprehension. The Metro District will work with law enforcement to identify those committing these offenses.

If you SEE something, SAY something.  Your awareness is very important in the preservation of our parks and community.
