Just before 3:00 pm Monday afternoon, the Brentwood Police Department responded to a suspicious package in an outhouse at Creekside Park in Brentwood which shut down the park and trails as police waited for Walnut Creeks Bomb Squad to arrive. During the incident, a shelter in place was ordered for the surrounding neighborhoods.
Upon arrival, it was determined this was a false alarm and crews quickly packed up and let nearby neighbors know it was safe to come out.
The threat was taken seriously as on Sept. 17, a restroom at Bethany State Reservoir and Park located just south of Byron was destroyed in an explosion.
Creekside Park is located off Claremont Dr. and Cheshire in Brentwood.
