Your help needed! Vandalism and felony theft at Staunton State Park

On Saturday February 3rd, during the hours of darkness, person(s) unknown committed acts of vandalism and felony theft to Staunton State Park’s main entry sign and gate area. Several letters of the entry sign were stolen and portions of buck-rail fencing were destroyed.

It is our intent to bring to justice those responsible for this senseless act. If anyone in our community has information about this crime, please call the park offices at 303-816-0912.”

- If you drove past the park entrance on Saturday (after hours) and saw a suspicious vehicle.
- If you’ve noticed our stolen large silver metal letters ‘S’ ‘N’ ‘T’ ‘O’ and ‘N’.
- If you have ANY information as to who may be responsible.

Please call our park office at 303-816-0912. Speak with a ranger or leave a detailed message with your name and call back phone number.
