North Lake Park

On December 18th 2006 vandalism was discovered at the North Lake Park at the end of John Beers Road.  The local Rotary Club had done an outstanding job of improving the park’s equipment and appearance.  The offenders defaced the park sign as well as a picnic bench, and stole a portion of the aluminum walkway on the boat ramp. 

There is a Crime Stoppers reward, and anyone with information is asked to call our department at 269.429.2444 or Crime Stoppers at  1.800.342.STOP.
