Yuba City is shutting down Sam Brannan Park starting September 1st to tackle public safety crises — including drug use, assaults, vandalism, and domestic violence — after nearly 150 police calls in just five months. The city’s investing over $265,000 in security upgrades like cameras, lighting, fencing, and electronic gates, while also planning a new dog park. While some longtime park users are furious and threatening to sabotage the new barriers, others welcome the changes, especially after witnessing life-threatening incidents. The goal? To restore the park as a safe, welcoming space — particularly for kids attending schools right next door — and bring it back to the community’s heart.
