The merry go round isn't going around.
The merry go round isn't going around.
Skatepark lights are still over 50% burnt out. Days are getting shorter, risk of people injuring themselves at the park are increasing. Please look into replacing the fixtures sooner rather than postponing it indefinitely.
Multiple urban camp sites just off trail near dog runs. Clearly visible from b-line. lots of trash.
Switchyard basketball court lighting: Most of the park is well lit at night (pickleball court, skate park, etc.) but the basketball court isn't. Constituent would like to request lighting there so it's safer/easier to see.
Loose bolt on basketball hoop at Switchyard: The south basket at the Switchyard basketball court has a loose screw that keeps needing replaced/tightened. As you face the basket, it's the upper-left bolt. A constituent has been voluntarily tightening it when it gets loose, but he wants it fixed. He said last time the bolt fell out and the washer was lost and had to be backordered/the basket was out of commission for a while. He said he's submitted some complaints before and it is still a problem.
uReport #176950 submitted previously reads, "The six tall black steel porch swings located in Switchyard Park need to have the pivots lubricated as they are making terrible noises when they're used to swing on." Unless you're waiting on a ladder or a can of WD-40, this ticket appears to have been closed with no action taken. Given that the bearings on the swings are not sealed, it stands to reason that they will need lubrication occasionally. Why not put the task on someone's work schedule?
Old tire in the creek area of switcyard park. Possibly washed down from elsewhere with all the rain we've been having this week. See marked area on picture of map attached for area. It's north of the splashpad, south of the skate park, in the stream bed between he east & west bridges on the B-Line
It is after 10pm and there is still a concert going on at the park so loud that it is making my house thump. There needs to be a limit on how late they can go. I have work in the morning and several of my neighbors do as well. This is ridiculous it's been going all day and we got no notice.

A Park’s personnel was using a leaf blower on the Pickleball courts at 8:30 in the morning. She spent 15 minutes on each court with people playing pickle ball. Felt like this was way too long to spend on each court. The noise was incredibly loud for us trying to play And the courts did not look like they needed a meticulous cleaning . Thanks
