CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A push is underway for additional safety measures at a Clarksville park.

It comes following recent drownings at a Billy Dunlop Park, which runs along the Red River.

On Sunday, a 10-year-old girl’s body was recovered by first responders after she drowned.

“The pain of that poignant moment lingers in our minds today, and will continue to do so for some time,” A city spokesperson said in a statement to WSMV4.

Her death comes three months after another pre-teen, William Tamba, drowned.

The city already had signs in place warning of dangerous conditions and encouraging the use of life jackets.
