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.
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.
Park Ridge Park needs wood chips around the bench to the east of the basketball court. The ground is packed dirt and tree roots.
Playground is incredibly overgrown. Some areas have a black, fungus like growth in the grass as well. I sent an email to Parks this morning before someone told me about this form.
The street apron at the entrance to Leonard Springs Nature Park is badly eroded, to the point where vehicles can bottom out and scrape against the edge of the remaining asphalt. This happens even when turning very slowly and carefully into the park. I believe it needs to be filled in with road base and topped with asphalt or concrete. Thanks!
there’s still a very dead tree in the middle of a playground.
Dead tree limb hanging low over sidewalk.
For the second year in a row, the plants in the middle of the trail roundabout where the trail to Sherwood Oaks Park, Olcott Park and to Rhorer Road intersect have been cut down. Why? This circle contained native plants, including elderberry (which was much smaller this year after having been cut down last year). This year everything was cut right down to the ground. This does not match practices elsewhere along the trails.
Possible drug activity white passenger car may be a drug deal going on. They are parked in the back parking circle at RCA Park.
I smell a campfire on the N side of the park by the chain link fence. It is too dry for this.
