We were at Olcott Park on Sunday, Nov. 24. The foam/rubber covering on the ground of the playground has gotten very loose and lumpy, which is dangerous because little kids (and adults) trip on the lumps.
Drainage from the football field covers the path from Olcott Park to JCMS with water (even after days with no rain). The water turns to ice when the temperature drops. Dozens of school children and community members use the path daily. I’ve seen school children slip and fall hard on their way to school. In past years the path is not adequately able to be maintained to remove the ice...the ice gets so thick that a general maintenance crew would not be able to remove it once it has formed. This path is often skipped by snow removal efforts (not sure if it’s City or MCCSC). Please consider a way to redirect this flow before someone gets seriously hurt. Thank you.
Biggest slide at Olcott has a big crack in it.
One of the swings at Olcott Park is broken. My son wanted to make sure we told you guys. :)
Broken teeter totter handle. Could pinch.
Tripping hazard on trail at olcott park
Bunch of people playing spikeball or some other game, but it appears no one is wearing masks or distancing. Cars are parked on the grass as well.
Please communicate more with parents regarding the status and schedule of the construction on the olcott park playground.
There is a large tree branch that is blocking and hanging over the half-mile path at Olcott Park.
The Ferguson Dog Park has low lying areas in all three parts of it. It floods and there is standing water for days after a rain. Just needs a little dirt and some grass seed.
