Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: There are two very large and deep muddy puddles in the large dog park area at Switchyard. One is located by the large tree in the center of the park, and the other is located by the sitting area under the green awning. My dog recently got into the muddy water, ate and drank it, and became severely sick for several days. After speaking with several dog owners at the park, this has happened with their dogs too, so it is definitely a health hazard. It is very difficult to keep the dogs away from these areas. This does not seem to be a problem just after rainfall, but most of the time. I ask that they be filled with gravel or fenced off to allow for regrowth and to keep dogs away in the meantime. Thank you!

Area by the shade sail is created by dogs digging. Simply dumping dirt will not solve. We will fence it off and apply dirt, hoping that will push the water to the west where the drainage pattern goes. If does not abate may ask Barnes to put in a french drain.
