The recent spate of violence and alleged arson incidents within Norwood’s Williamsbridge Oval Park has one local legislator and the neighborhood’s community board asking police to step it up.

Councilman Andrew Cohen, representing the 11th District, which covers Norwood, along with Community Board 7 sent a joint letter to the 52nd Precinct and Parks Department to increase patrols around Oval Park. Both agencies share policing duties at the park.

In the last two months, a series of suspected arson fires and violent incidents have taken place at the Bronx park, heavily used by families and neighbors getting a workout.

“[T]he recent stabbing and multiple fires have left the Norwood community concerned about their safety in the vicinity of the park,” wrote Cohen and CB7 chair Adaline Walker-Santiago.

The two have requested extra police and Parks Enforcement Patrol officers, though a Park spokesman told the Norwood News it has already increased its PEP presence following the incidents.

Meantime, a spokesperson for the Fire Department said, “Fire Marshals with the FDNY Bureau of Investigations is aware of the incidents and investigations are ongoing.”
