Thank you for the report and the e-mail. Please get in touch with the City's Risk department about the issue - they are expecting your call. I will take a closer look at the underlying risk issues here.
Other: On Friday August 29, 2025, my car was hit very hard by an errant golf ball on Kinser Pike. Parks and Recreation needs to be aware of the hazard along Kinser Pike. About a month ago, my husband was riding his bike along the very same stretch of road and had a golf ball come within a foot of hitting him. Kids walk to school on the sidewalk, parents push babies in strollers, and bikers commute along the road bordering Cascades Golf Course. If an errant ball hit a pedestrian or biker at the same force as the one that hit my car, it would cause life-altering and possibly life-ending injuries. There is a lack of netting and insufficient tree line to protect the public road from errant balls along Kinser Pike. Golf courses have the responsibility to protect against errant balls. Please put up netting or improve the tree line along Kinser Pike bordering the Cascades Golf Course.
