Yellow Jacket nest directly under the basketball courts Southwest bench. My father got stung Sunday after a couple minutes sitting on the bench.
The Switchyard Park public restrooms near the splash pool were locked at 8pm Sunday while a 7pm orchestra concert was ongoing. The posted closing time is inconsiderate of the hundreds of music lovers in the concert audience who were not aware of a facilities curfew. The sympathetic parks employee said he was instructed to lock the building. In the interest of respecting anticipated needs of park users for whom the venue was built, please review the reasons for having a restroom lockdown policy during events that are expected to have a large audience.
Hi, I was with my daughter at the Southeast Park playground today and noticed an unusual plant near the swings and hobby horses with a tiny tomato-like fruit. My plant app identified it as Carolina horse nettle, which is a member of the nightshade family and is poisonous. I pulled and discarded all the plants I saw in the area with berries, but I am concerned that this plant is present on a playground and wanted to alert you. The berries look a lot like tiny tomatoes or globe eggplant and would appear edible to many. Thanks for your time!
The park courts need new rims they are broken. They need new nets and the backboards need repainted.
Small tree of heaven just north of Winslow woods on right of way across from YMCA gymnastics building
The pickle pole boxes combination lock won't open all the way. It looks like people have been trying to break into the box because the lids kind of off and it'll only open 3/4 of the way but you can't get to the nets.
Parking lot area very overgrown with weeds The parking lot by community garden And low hanging tree limb over sidewalk on south side of park
Just curious if it's normal if homeless take baths in the splash pad for kids. I watched this on 7-5-23. I find it disturbing and disgusting.. Something has to be done with the amount of transients at Switchyard. They have over run Seminary, rails to trails,parking lots,corners and sidewalks.. I don't fill safe taking my family downtown any longer.. Something has to change... Marty S.
