Parks & Playgrounds:

Web Form: During rain, the surrounding mud and grime around the skatepark at the new Switchyard park drains into the park itself since there is no finished edgings. I don't know what sort of timeline the construction crews have on getting to this, but I just wanted to point out how bad it gets. Some friends had to get wet and dirty in order to unclog one of the drains and get the water out from the park. We had to get our own brooms out to clean this up later on after it had dried. I understand it's cold season and there may not be anything to be done, but I feel like it needs pointed out. The skatepark itself is wonderful, but the work around it has been poorly taken care of. Pictures of the area that pools and how mud ends up draining into the park from two spots on the north side of the skatepark are in this shared album. https://photos.app.goo.gl/uXgmpwQefXXzfAV56 Thank you!

The majority of landscape plantings at Switchyard Park are scheduled for installation by the end of May 2020. Once plantings and mulch are completed there should no longer be problems with mud and runoff in the landscape beds at the Skatepark. Having participants and spectators stay on hard surfaces (trail and sidewalks) while moving around the Skatepark will also help reduce the amount of mud and runoff.
