DEPARTMENT PURPOSE AND GOALS

The Park & Recreation Department is a participant of the CCPD Fund and manages three CCPD-funded
initiatives: Parks Community Policing, Gang Graffiti Abatement Program, and the FW@6 Late Night Program.

The Parks Community Policing initiative provides a safe environment for the public and staff by having an officer
present at specific sites and events. In addition, private security is provided at the Diamond Hill Community
Center.

The Graffiti Abatement Program assists in graffiti removal for property owners in the City of Fort Worth. In
addition, the program encompasses a range of community outreach initiatives aimed at graffiti prevention and
fostering art appreciation.

The FW@6 Late Night initiative is offered at the Sycamore Community Center and Chisholm Trail Community
Center. The program creates a safe haven for “at-risk” youth living in high-crime areas of the city. The program’s
goal is to decrease youth participation in crime and gangs through enrichment and recreational activities designed
to reduce crime, stimulate self-determination and increase community pride.
