There are a couple of very deep holes on the large hill on the north end of the large dog area of the Switchyard dog park. I was not there to see this happen, but a gentleman I was just speaking with there said that he saw a dog get very injured when its leg was caught while running. They should be filled to prevent any further injuries. Thank you!
Just curious if any State/County/City agency or legislative body bans smoking outdoors in public parks by statute/ordinance/regulation. Specifically, there is a cigar-smoker (loud, older, possibly un-housed) who often sits on a bench near the NW corner of People's Park about 11am and smokes a cigar that can be smelled by anyone who walks through the park and even across the street at the bagel shop. Just wondering if he could be asked to smoke where other people are not forced to smell it.

The lights in Peoples Park along the eastern edge of the park and on the 507 E. Kirkwood Avenue building are not operating, creating a haven at night for an overnight encampment of people, various belongings, litter, etc. The lights shine into the Park to create more visibility/safety for pedestrians/visitors.
Citizen says the Miller Showers area furthest north that was torn up last year looks "horrible". Its all brown with twigs sticking up and is a mess. If this is what the wildflower planting did, she'd rather see weeds & grass that are mowed. Says everyone coming into town from the north sees this and it gives a really bad impression.
My wife took our kids to switchyard park today and went to the playground area where 3 men who she did not know seemed to follow her and the kids around various areas of the playground. They were hanging around close enough for her to feel unsafe and leave the park, which is very unlike her. My request would be for areas (particularly those used by younger children) to have an increase security presence so folks aren't feelin this way in our parks.
Last two Sundays Switchyard park especially the playground has been covered in trash. The best part is that there have been multiple parks employees standing around some "picking up trash" in the same small area for long periods of time. Not sure if this is a "not my job" situation but it really wouldn't take much time if employees showed motivation in cleaning up the park.
