In some cases, people have been in the park even though the park closes just after dark, he said.
“One of our neighbors looked out the other night and saw somebody in her backyard,” Hyche said. “When she turned on an outside light, the man ran back in to the park. That’s the kind of things that are going on.”
Hyche told council members he had 11 separate documented incidents related to things going on at the park, including vehicles trying to enter the park in the middle of the night despite it having locked gates at the entrance.
“Our concerns are legitimate,” said Jimmie Alexander, who also lives in the subdivision.
Council members agreed and said they are looking into ways to correct the problems.
Council members Danny Gambrell and Jed Daniel were not in attendance at the meeting.
In other business, council members:
•approved a request to renew the contract with Greater Birmingham Humane Society to provide animal pound services in the city.

•heard from O’Mary, who told council members he met with Walker County Commission chairman Steve Miller Tuesday morning to discuss measures needed to slow the surge of COVID-19 cases in the city and throughout the county.
O’Mary said additional meetings with Miller would be held.
“We have a chance to make a dent in what’s going on, and that’s important,” O’Mary said. “We have to do something, and we have to do it now.”
