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.
The smell when driving by is so bad it makes me sick, if you are not going to move the homeless at least get porta pottyes so they are not just using the ground. No one wants to smell the foul odor coming from this park.
Seminary park littered with trash and abandoned personal possessions. Also several stolen shopping carts filled with just abandoned. Have seen city workers bypass picking up these items and/or throwing them away or taking care of the problems.
Someone has scattered small, clear gelatinous balls on the ground on the rubber surface near Ford Street by the green curly slides. They may be completely benign—perhaps some type of Halloween candy? But they are unfamiliar to me and, unfortunately, very appealing to my 20 month old grandson. I tried to pick them up to throw them away, but there were too many, and they were spread over a large area. They are soft and squash when walked on.
Multiple urban camp sites just off trail near dog runs. Clearly visible from b-line. lots of trash.
The safety swing no longer latches and isn’t safe to use
Mary go round needs greased or repaired. It is difficult, even for adults, to push. The children couldn’t use by themselves.
Near the sidewalk toward the parking lot (where it rounds to drive back around), there is a large hole that is difficult to see. Last evening, I stepped in it and rolled my ankle. I wanted to share so no one else gets hurt. I am happy to help locate it with photos are meeting someone there. I didn't have a chance to take a photo as I could barely walk and wasn't focused on the safety thoughts in the future.
Hello! I was wondering if I could gain permission to metal dectect on city parks and rec property? Specifically, I would like to try metal detecting at Lower Cascades. If permissible, I would minimize avoid any restricted areas, fill in any dig holes, and would remove all surface and underground trash encountered. Thanks for your time, and let me know if any other information is needed.
