Hello, There is currently a safety issue at Sherwood Oaks Park. Below the big blue slide on the playground where the mulch is worn away, there is a large chunk of concrete protruding that several children have been getting injured on. They get to the bottom of the slide and instead of landing in mulch, they're getting scraped up on the concrete chunk. There's also an additional large concrete chunk about 10 feet east of the bottom of the blue slide where mulch should be covering it. An additional note, the swing seats on the swing set there are exceedingly high. High enough that even an adult must jump up to get onto the swing. Children are not able to stop themselves when done swinging because they are set so high. Isn't there an OSHA standard for how what height the swings should be set at? Thanks, Kevin Kevin R.

There is a dangerous section of the blue slide at the Lower Cascades playground. Linda Ebright was going down the slide with her 3 year old daughter when she went around the bend in the slide she says she hit her head and might have a concussion. She talked to a coworker who experienced the same thing at an earlier date. She would like to be contacted about this issue.

I have a question regarding the lights on the tennis courts at Wilson and Bryan Parks. I recently went over to Wilson Park and noticed that the lights which use to come on at 7:30 PM are no longer being turned on. The same is true at Bryan Park. Is this a permanent change until spring? I noticed at Wilson Park that although the tennis court lights were turned off the parking lights still were on. Is there any chance that the lights on the tennis courts, even if just on one court, could be left on for a little longer say into the end of November, in the evenings? Though cold the weather has not reached a point where it is unreasonable to play outside in the evenings. I realize the answer is probably no, especially in light of budgeting concerns, but I just felt it was worth asking. Thanks Sincerely, Chris Sontag

The new bridge over the creek is extremely slippery in the morning, when wet. I was not prepared and I fell. A little black and blue, but nothing broken. I suggest putting those granular non-skid surfaces on the steps particularly, and perhaps a warning sign.

I believe the city planned to improve the trails in Winslow Park. All the summer rain has washed out the running and biking trail on the east end of the park and it is a mix of deep ruts, sand and gravel and a hazard, especially for people on foot or on bike descending from the hill between the tennis courts and the YMCA. Is repairing those trails still in the works? If not, could the city just re-gravel them so the ruts are not so deep? Thank you
