Gogo's take on North Kissimmee Park
“Go with care. North Kissimmee Park is primarily a residential and light commercial corridor that offers standard suburban convenience but suffers from occasional property crime and vehicle break-ins along busy transit routes. Visitors should exercise standard situational awareness, especially at night near commercial strips along North Main Street.”
Osceola County law enforcement has periodically focused patrols along the US 17-92/Main Street corridor to address traffic safety issues and opportunistic property crimes.
