The safety swing no longer latches and isn’t safe to use
Vegetation is encroaching into the walking/running trail around Winslow Sports Park on both the east and west sides.
Last February we reached out and requested that Parks clear several downed trees along the hiking trail behind Twin Lakes for our run group route. Parks came out within a couple days and cleared all of the downed trees including one huge one. I don't think I sent anything at the time but just wanted to give everyone a huge thank you for doing that for us - it helped so much. Everyone in our run group really appreciated the responsiveness and efforts from parks staff. Thank you so much!
Along Bryan Park trail. I know that the memorial tree plaques are guaranteed for only 5 years. Is there a material or treatment that preserve them better? Thanks!
THE ISSUE: On the left, looking west toward the basketball courts in Bryan Park. Over the years attempts have been made to deal with erosion caused by the stream that flows into Sheridan Creek. A SUGGESTION: Erect a lttle bridge for pedestrian like the one illustrated on the right (on Highland between Southdowns and the pedestrian / bicycle link to Weatherstone in Deer Park over a drainage ditch.
Someone drew penis’s and balls on the playground equipment at the playground on Graham.
Water fountain at seminary park is not yet turned on. Will it be soon? 90 degree temps make for thirsty people. Thanks!
Not a complaint necessarily but a request. Water fountain in Park Ridge East only has the top part work. The lower part on the base has no handle (looks removed). Is used for pets, etc. It would be very appreciated if water could also be accessed that way. Thank you!
Largish (at least 10 by 20 sq ft) patch of putative Japanese stiltgrass seedings found in Winslow Woods. . Centered on creek bed (located on both sides of bed), and located about 60-90 south of storm drains located in backyard of house that borders the northern boundary of Winslow woods. There may be other patches nearby but I didn’t look for them.
Constituents have reported to Council members that the basketball rims at Switchyard are damaged. I have not seen, simply relaying the concern. Thanks!
