My not yet one and a half year old tried to use one of the baby swings (the baby swing closest to the shelter) at Lion's Den shelter/Upper Cascades playground. The holes are so small we could barely get her feet through and had to remove her shoes to do so. The band between her legs was too wide and the seat made her sit awkwardly. When the larger seat was available we switched to it and I noticed her knees and thighs were dirty, red, and irritated, as well as had indentation marks from the swing. (You can see the swing responsible in the background of the picture showing what it did to her leg in just a few minutes.) We were only in it for a few minutes. This is the first time we've ever encountered a problem with any baby swing. It needs to be adjusted or replaced.

Lots of speeding next to Park Ridge East Park, especially around corner of Morningside to Summerhouse. Was told they would have speed bump when constructed. Kids are definitely at risk. Can Summerhouse get a speed bump next to park or even removable road barriers or something. They should be using 3rd. But at least go slow next to kids.

Could we possibly get a water spigot, hose, and some plastic kiddie pools inside the fenced areas of the dog park? I belong to Karst Dog Park and those are so so valuable in these hot months.

The skatepark has piles of dirt in multiple spots. It's hard to skate and could cause unnecessary accidents. Probably runoff from rain, so it could be a recurring issue. Thank you.

The baby pool at Bryan park is significantly colder than the main pool. Babies need warmer water, not colder, especially now that they can’t take a break by going down the slides on their parent’s lap anymore.

Please turn back on the water fountains in the city parks. The CDS has advised that the risk of surface transmission of COVID-19 is minimal. Not having access to drinking water during these hot days is likely causing more harm than turning the fountains back on.

Campaigning now to have parks accomplish their master plan goal of more greenspace/parks on the east side… turn the giant old Macy’s parking lot into a park. Please this is never utilized as parking and it is just a bunch of concrete and pavement over there. The mall is dying but parks are not!
