A street parking issue near one of Danbury's parks has resolved itself now that a feature of the park is closed.  Some concerns were raised earlier this month at the City Council meeting about the number of cars parked on Highland Avenue.  There is a spray park and a field there.  Parks Department Director Nick Kaplanis says they had to install a gate that locks because people were parking their cars there overnight.

There was some vandalism that led to the lock being installed.

Kaplanis says he doesn't know who is using the field later in the evenings because they aren't a "recognized organization".  For anyone to use the parks on a regular basis, they have to apply for a permit and fill out a liability waiver.  They would then be granted a permit.

The spray park closed when school opened so officials were hoping street parking would become less of an issue.  The Rogers Park spray park, which is used more than the one at Highland Avenue, is now only open on the weekends.
