Woman hears noises, worries a mountain lion might be in neighborhood

A woman last week told the Park City Police Department a mountain lion might be in her neighborhood, a report that comes a few months after sightings of the big cats in Park City.

The woman called the police on Wednesday, May 7 at 9:39 a.m. from Silver Cloud Court, which is on the northeastern edge of Park Meadows. She told the police she hears animal noises in the morning, and the sounds appeared to be approaching houses.

Public police logs do not provide details. State wildlife officials were called, the police said.

Silver Cloud Court sits close to vast acres of open space, and some of the earlier sightings of mountain lions, which were made toward the beginning of winter, were in Park Meadows. Wildlife officials then indicated it seemed a mountain lion was passing through the Park City area. The local deer population attracted the animal, they said.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, May 10 at 1:01 p.m., a woman told the police she saw a coyote several times near Queen Esther Drive, a small street near Deer Crest. She told the police she wanted wildlife officials informed, the police said, adding that she is worried about small children in the neighborhood.

Other incidents reported to the Police Department last week included:

On Sunday, May 11 at 5:23 p.m., the police were told a vehicle was parked in front of a fire hydrant in Prospector. Police records say the car was on Prospector Avenue, near the 1800 block of Bonanza Drive.
