Part of the Artesia Youth Park’s mission statement is “to provide a safe place for kids and the community.” A large component of this mission is to have safety measures in place, including security lights and cameras. Executive Director, Suzanne Luck, as well as a Youth Advisory Council Member and an RCCF Board Member visited Artesia Youth Park to check out the new equipment.
