I found the metal sign for not smoking in the children's play area ripped off and left along Longview Avenue. I brought it up to the play area and put it under the oak tree along the SW edge of the park. There I also found two wood rails that might have been the base for the sign, and a fresh hole.
The new lights that shine onto the pickleball courts at RCA Park are tilted in such a way that they shine into the backyards of several houses, a long distance into the surrounding forest, and also create a good amount of light pollution due to their angle. Would it be possible to have the lights tilted down and to focus them more directly on the pickleball courts to reduce the light flowing into the surrounding area?
The tennis and pickleball courts are in need of sweeping. There are many pine needles down since storms. The courts are slippery as a result. I’m sure there are many demands after rains, but there are more than 30 people over 60 years old playing this morning and I am concerned for their safety and your liability.
There are many thorny weeds in the play area of southeast park playground. They are a hazard for children. Please remove ASAP
Please consider placing a restroom or port-o-let at Sherwood Oaks Park. It is a beautiful park but people use the woods as a restroom constantly.
For the second year in a row, the plants in the middle of the trail roundabout where the trail to Sherwood Oaks Park, Olcott Park and to Rhorer Road intersect have been cut down. Why? This circle contained native plants, including elderberry (which was much smaller this year after having been cut down last year). This year everything was cut right down to the ground. This does not match practices elsewhere along the trails.
