List of episodes
"Park Safety" is the 19th episode of the second season of the American comedy television series Parks and Recreation, and the 25th overall episode of the series. It originally aired on NBC in the United States on March 18, 2010. In the episode, Jerry is apparently mugged, which forces his co-workers to be nicer to him, and prompts Leslie to seek stronger safety measures for the city's parks.
The episode was written by Aisha Muharrar and directed by Michael Trim. The writers sought to establish in "Park Safety" that the other characters liked Jerry, even though they often make jokes at his expense. It featured a guest appearance by comedian Andy Samberg, who previously worked with Parks star Amy Poehler on the sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live, as a parks ranger named Carl. It also featured Mo Collins in her recurring guest role as Joan Callamezzo, host of the morning news program Pawnee Today.
According to Nielsen Media Research, "Park Safety" was seen by 4.7 million household viewers. Among audiences between ages 18 and 49, it experienced a slightly lower rating than the previous week's episode, "The Possum", in part due to competition from the 2010 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. "Park Safety" received generally positive reviews, with several reviewers praising the comedic scene in which Jerry gives an embarrassing presentation to his co-workers. Samberg's performance, however, received mostly negative reviews.
