Unacceptable turf field conditions. Visible concrete on the field.
Unacceptable turf field conditions. Visible concrete on the field.
The turf field at Twin Lakes is in dire need of full replacement, no additional patch work. It has become a full on health concern to youth and adults that rent the space and play on the turf. I have seen both youth and adults obtain an injury from the many poorly patched area, open seams with exposed concrete, and over all warm/matted down turf through out the entire field.
This is a follow on to my previous submission. A of some on, of very many, beyond dangerous locations that merit a full replacement of the turf vs just patches.
I am greatly disturbed and feel unsafe playing on this turf field at Twin Lakes. The gravel is shallow and unsafe for sports like soccer that involve a lot of sharp cuts and sliding. I play with the ultimate frisbee community on the weekends and many of us have gotten injured. I request that they install new turf or find a way to patch up the many holes and concrete patches.
The turf on the field needs some working on. Rock hard, terrible for knees or impact situations.
With the hot weather recently we've been taking our small children to the switchyard park playground earlier in the morning to beat the heat. It's really baffling as to why the restrooms here don't open until 10:00 AM. There are a lot of families on the playground before then that would really appreciate restroom access for small children.
Just in case no one else has notified you, the girls' bathroom on the west side of the park has a toilet malfunctioning (flushing continuously).
The showers between locker rooms 3&4 barely work. The showers between locker rooms 1&2 work great, its frustrating as it seems like an easy fix.
The bathroom at the police substation were locked again at 10 am. This is a holiday and the courts were full, but the bathroom was locked. The inside door was open. You could see the bathroom but couldn't get in. This is not the first time this bathroom has been lock. Don't say to go to the other switchyard bathroom! By the time you get to this one it's a 10-15 minute walk to the other that might not be unlocked also. This is ridiculous. The pickleball courts were full and a few basketball players.
Both shower drains are badly backed up, to the point of nearly flooding the adjacent bathrooms.This is extremely unsanitary as well as flooding risk to the facility. This has been reported to staff a minimum of five times over the past several weeks but to my knowledge no action has been taken.
