Hello I have noticed a ton of cigarette waste at switchyard park. I also noticed there is a lack of trash cans along the trail in SWP. I know the park is still under development and trash recepitcals are forthcoming. However, I wanted to let the P&R dept. know about cigarette waste recycling through terra cycle. I think it would be a great way to keep the parks clean and help the planet at the same time! https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades/cigarette-waste-recycling

Lots of people sleeping in the public seminary square park overnight. I was under the impression this isn’t allowed. Also lots of people littering and drinking alcohol in this public city park.

the bricks under most picnic benches (if not all!) are spotted with stuff that looks disgusting, and attracts flies.

I saw a single person in a black suv making an off-road track of some kind on Tuesday afternoon. Neighbors adjacent the park had wondered about the truck tracks in the grass, and I witnessed what has been happening. The guy left the parking space on W. 16th heading west and turned onto the grass parallel to the creek. Then he slowly drove up the hill, slipping and sliding in the mud back to the single parking spot. He repeated the same route, as if he were trying to make a 4-wheeler track. Very strange. I was staring at him from my garden at the corner. When he saw me stare, he left the parking spot and headed away toward Tri-North. I thought the park maintenance staff might want to know. Also, the little footbridge crossing the ditch was handy, but it was removed during creek/culvert repair.---Sharon Roualet, Crescent Bend Neighborhood Association
Crestmont Park is busier than ever and needs attention.

Last night we noticed a large amount of water (more than from snow melt) across the center path, in front of the green bench near the restrooms. It looked like it was coming up from the ground, like from a leak in a pipe.

I really like the improvements for fishing and/or enjoying the water at the Griffy boathouse parking lot. The large limestone blocks along the shoreline were a nice addition however they have little support underneath and some have rolled into the water. These must be pretty heavy and hopefully no one was on the blocks as they rolled. The gravel behind is now sliding into water as well.

The placement of the entry/exit gates at the new dog park is difficult for a lot of dogs/dog owners since, in order to enter/exit the dog park from the main park entrance, you have to walk past the entire dog park fence to get to and from the entry gate on the south end. If there was a gate at the north end of the dog park, it would avoid a lot of escalated barking/fearful dogs which could lead to dangerous situations like dog bites and would be a lot more user friendly.

My husband and I are grateful for the carefully cleared Jackson Creek Trail. Would it be possible to also clear the access sidewalk from the Sherwood Oaks parking lot to the trail itself? Negotiating it in snowy weather is a challenge for us elderly.
