The spruce trees along the perimeter path need some maintenance---weeds like Spanish needles and even saplings are growing up under and around them. Especially the two on the north side below the tennis courts. (Question: I assume you have maintenance schedules for all the Parks---daily, weekly, seasonal, yearly? If so, I'd suggest adding those spruce to the once a year list.
On Sunday September 14, at around 8 pm, a guy who calls himself "Turbo" came in to the dog park with five out-of-control dogs. These dogs have repeatedly ganged up on my dog and on other dogs. Several people have repeatedly had conversations with him about controlling his dogs and respecting the two-dog-per-person rule at the park. Tonight, when we asked him to call off his dogs, he angrily yelled at my wife and other people at the park. I saw him yell at a guy named Jim and flip over one of the tables in front of him. We tried to leave, and he followed us and yelled at us. We brought our dog home and came back to see how Jim was doing, and in that time, he had returned to the park and was continuing to yell at Jim. Jim tried to file a U-Report, but he wasn't sure if it processed. If security patrols at the Switchyard see a middle-aged white male with gray dreadlocks and five dogs heading toward the dog park, they should know that this guy is trouble. I am concerned that he might escalate a situation, and I don't want to see anyone get hurt.
We cleaned the ditch between E Southdowns Dr and E Sheridan Dr. The debris has been stacked at the intersection of S Ballantine and E Sheridan Dr. Would the city parks dept please set a date for pick-up? Thank you. V/r, Mark
Time to update this to indicate what the switch is for. Maybe update the wood post into something that looks less temporary. At least paint or stain. At best replace with a metal post.
Squad car 1524 went up and over the curb at the Henderson st parking lot at Bryan park. It should really be removed
Please enforce the no smoking at parks rule. People are smoking inside the fenced kids playground.
This evening at around 6:30pm there were three kids (seemed like maybe around eighth grade) riding electric bikes on the general purpose field north of the football field. They were intentionally sliding in grass and running the back tires while holding standing and holding the handle bars up. They took off north on The Strands Dr. I don't know what specifically could be done, but wanted to make someone aware in case damage of this type was on going.
The Sycamore Knolls area tennis courts (off Hillside) is overgrown with weeds, both along the fence and on the court itself. Seems like the courts are not being kept up.
Switchyard playground merry-go-round doesn’t rotate anymore
Poison ivy in mulched area on upper side of playground. Also, the chimes were installed backwards and do not match the pitch labeling.
