Park Ridge East Park wooden fence is in shambles. It’s not achieving the desired purpose of a barrier between the road and the park. It is splintery, and it is not sturdy at all. A child is likely to get hurt.
Along the mowed park path on the line of pine trees between 2304 E Pierson Ct and Olcott Park just west of the main park entrance, someone has discarded empty liquor bottles, vape pens, and tobacco containers in several locations.

Trash and stuff by the big rock south of Allen and east of Patterson. It has been there for a couple of weeks
One of the brick slides at Karst Farm park is breaking and causing cuts/scrapes on the backs of legs and bottoms of children.
The third swing is broken, the chain is not attached to the pole
There a group of teenage kids riding electric dirt bikes in and around southeast park. From what I can gather these are street legal, and they don't belong in the parks either.
Third Street playground is located on a busy road and the playground is not fenced in on all sides. The younger toddler play set is located right next to an unfenced area that is located very close to the road. While playing today a two year old wondered from the playground into the road after he slid down the slide on the toddler portion of the playground. Luckily there were no cars coming and a bystander stepped in. This could have been prevented if the fence was extreme Ed to include the north end of the playground as well as a fence included between the playground and the small parking lot.
Park Ridge Park appears neglected. Leaves from last Fall, branches and sticks from first storm and pinecones on sidewalk.
The sidewalk north of the tennis courts in the Southeast park does not drain and as a result the sidewalk is frequently muddy and difficult for pedestrians to navigate. You cleaned off the mud last spring, but the underlying lack of drainage has not been addressed. And during the winter although the rest of the walkways around the Southeast park were welll plowed, the stretch along the north of the tennis courts was not plowed at all.
