A large group of my friends and I have red, painful chemical burns from the grass. I can still see imprints of individual blades of grass on my legs after 4 days. The chemicals used are far too strong and this is unacceptable for a public park where children play.
I’m a frequent user of Switchyard park, but I’m very unhappy with the state of the parking lot on Walnut St. I’ve seen city employees out working in the area several times, but it’s still unsightly. The beds are sparse and bare-looking. It appears as though the working crew has mulched around Johnson grass - an invasive grass - and tall fescue. Does the landscaper not know the difference between invasive and ornamental grasses? Not only this, the hills south of the stage area around the playground and dog park are filled with thistles, Johnson grass, and other invasives. Is the city’s flagship park not worth landscaping maintenance? Considering that this is the city’s most beloved, brag-worthy park and it still looks awful, I’m hesitant to visit other parks.
Southeast Park has ground nesting bees living under the benches surrounding the playground. Please Take care to remove before someone gets stung bad
the two tennis courts surface are damaged by the flood in June that the ground is bulked up and is a serious tripping and safety hazard. Can you repair the courts? They are frequently used by residents before the damage.
Not a problem—requesting that there be a pickleball court lines drawn on the current tennis courts or on the hitting surface so we can include pickleball playing in the park. Lots of us would love to play here!
Would you consider adding a pickle ball court or at least painting lines for pickle ball on the tennis courts and/or the pavement next to the courts?
Who recently put masking tapes on the tennis court (for other sports?)? Is this allowed? It could trip people playing on the court.
We have seen a few people frequently using the tennis court at Sherwood Oaks Park for soccer. They would practice shooting soccer ball against the tennis wall and court fences. Those structures are damaged because they are not designed to withhold such strong impact. Please consider putting a sign to warn against similar activities. Thank you!
Sherwood oaks park tennis courts appear to have been vandalized. The court closest to the creek has a bent standard and the net is gone. I am pretty sure the net was there on Friday.
The park courts need new rims they are broken. They need new nets and the backboards need repainted.
