Children are getting stuck after climbing up, install ladder to facilitate them getting down safely.
Hello Park and Recreation Team, I would like to share my thoughts about the new equipment called "Victory Tower” at Bryan park. Would you consider adding something like a ladder to come down? I see 2 options to come down either by a pole or come down with the slope. When more kids are waiting in the line to enjoy the equipment, it is hard to come down the slope. I do not know but I feel like the pole is expected to be used. When my child tried to use the pole, it was a little bit far from the top of the equipment so she got scared of grabbing a pole. More kids were trying to play with the equipment and my child felt pressured and cried. I wish I could have climbed the pole to grab her but I could not. If a child gets stuck at the top of the equipment, it will cause congestion. I feel like adding something like a ladder to come down would be more helpful.
Both playgrounds at Building and Trades park are very overgrown with weeds, also cobwebs.
Please replace the upper tennis court lights at the Winslow Park. More than half of the lights are burned out. Also, please tuen on the lights about 45 minutes earlier. It’s too dark for playing match around 8:00 pm.
Bunch homless hanging out at public park not safe for children. Always needles and caps loud music
There is a nest of territorial bees in the hole in the parking marker pole The marker is second from farthest from gates into dog play areas. They stung and gave us chase across the lot before relenting so they are definitely a hazard in this spot.
This dogwood tree looks to be suffering from dogwood anthracnose. It needs some fungicide treatment if parks and rec wants it to survive.
There are three (3) dead trees that we believe are located on the Building & Trades Park property that we would like to see removed because of their potential danger to our building. Please let us know how this is assessed. Thank you
Switchyard Park playground, there's a patch of the play surface that's ripped and sinking in. My friend's kid stepped in that spot while running to play and it tripped her. If you are at the large black swings on the south end of the playground, walk north from the right and middle swings, going between the two orange swing structures north of the black swings, and you'll trip over it too.
Switchyard Park - at the kids playground, the large black swings at the south end are really squeaky. Can someone go over there with a ladder and a can of WD-40 or other lubricant and see if that helps quiet the swings? Thanks.
