My daughter was on the swing and it broke underneath her. She is ok but it is unusable.

I'm an Adopt-a-Trail volunteer and was taking care of Southeast Park this morning and noticed a lot of ground bees (they looked like honeybees) just east of the park pavilion at Southeast Park (just north of the playground). The bees were swarming around a patch of wild garlic. I'll include this on my volunteer report but figured it warrants a uReport due to the proximity of the hive to the pavilion with the picnic table.
Southeast Park the water at the two fountain has not been turned on. Is there a reason or just an oversight? The dog is really disappointed.
The sidewalk on the northside of the Southeast Park tennis courts (along that area ) is full of mud and debris, and unusable at times. There is also a stack of tree limbs that need cleared in that area.
It is after 10pm and there is still a concert going on at the park so loud that it is making my house thump. There needs to be a limit on how late they can go. I have work in the morning and several of my neighbors do as well. This is ridiculous it's been going all day and we got no notice.
Merry go round at Switchyard Playground inoperable
There is almost no shade at all in the Switchyard playground. I understand, of course, that nothing can be done in terms of tree cover until the recently-planted ones grow and create more shade, but why in the world do the metal slats above the wooden benches along the west side of the playground not have some kind of canopy over them? They don't block sun or rain and seem to be completely useless. We love Switchyard but it's really inconvenient to not have any shade or rain protection over at least part of the park. I can't imagine it would be very expensive to install some kind of canvas cover above the slats, at the very least.
Please create more shade at Switchyard Park near the playground and splash pad. I was there with a young child and a baby this weekend, and it was impossible to keep the baby in shade while still having a view of the child on the playground or on the splash pad. The grates above the swings do not offer shade, and both shelters were being used by groups/parties. There should be shade structures at the playground and alongside the splash pad. I encountered a number of people with the same complaint.
A Park’s personnel was using a leaf blower on the Pickleball courts at 8:30 in the morning. She spent 15 minutes on each court with people playing pickle ball. Felt like this was way too long to spend on each court. The noise was incredibly loud for us trying to play And the courts did not look like they needed a meticulous cleaning . Thanks
