Lights on the pickleball court shine brightly into the neighboring yards, even the back yards on the south side of the street on RCA Park Dr. Tree foliage blocks some of the light in the summer, but it's like a football stadium in the winter. I understand they are supposed to be on a timer but people play at all hours. Can a light shield be installed, or some other solution found? Trying to get ahead of this before winter.

Missing bike rack - there used to be a bike rack just to the north of the splash pad that I used frequently. During our Monday and Wednesday community run group meetings that meet at that location (6pm), the bike rack was frequently full. The bike rack disappeared some time last week with no apparent explanation. Perhaps the city could partner with a nearby bike shop (Bike Garage, just up the street) to replace that well-used bike rack?
Will the bike rack by the splash pad be returned or was it moved somewhere else? It is nice to have the bike rack near the restrooms.
In the Southeast Park tennis courts: there are yellow jackets living in one of the net support poles. They are in the eastern support pole of the West court. We were there last night and 3 yellow jackets were standing guard on top of the support pole, so we left to use the Bryan Park courts instead.
The large black hanging swings at the south end of the children's playground, along with the same swings on the north side of the splash pad pavilion, are in need of lubrication. They emit a terrible squeal when you try to swing on them, and if all three are in motion at the same time, it's enough to drive you mad. Having someone climb up there once a quarter and spray a little lubrication on the pivot points would presumably work wonders. Thanks for your time and attention!
Pickle ball courts nets need to be tightened so they are horizontal. Also, lights should be added to the courts for play after dark. Thanks!
There are two utility box covers that have improper covers on them near the athletic fields. The lids are rotten and soft and will not support a person's weight. They also flip open when stepped on. This is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

The Olcott Park has no serviceable water fountain. The water fountain located by the bathrooms was uninstalled months ago and a new one was never installed. Schools use the park for athletes to practice every day after school, and they have no access to drinking water while at the park!
