Goat Farm Park and Olcott Park Loop

Case Date:
10/13/2021

While walking late last night (circa midnight) along the asphalt path around the parks, I noticed that someone had set up a small tent in the woods (last night, the tent was illuminated from within by the person's flashlight). It was just a few yards off the lower end of the path that cuts through the woods between Olcott and the Goat Farm areas, where the path bends (tent was off the outside of the corner) and comes into view of the small bridge over Jackson Creek. On previous nights, I've smelled a latrine odor in the same general area, so I doubt this was the first occurrence. Given that this is very near a popular wading stream and not far from the playground, I decided to report it.

I have walked the trail at Latimer Woods at least once a day for the last 4 years. Thanks for providing us with a dirt trail through the woods. Last fall, I believe employees of Parks and Rec. raked the leaves off the trail after they all fell in November. While this may have seemed like a good idea, the trail became treacherous after a rain, freeze/thaw, or snow. Please leave the leaves on the trail. They provide traction, and help prevent erosion. Thanks, Mike Forney

Large-sized tree has fallen across LC trail, towards the south end. Has been there for a few months now. Is south of the construction/Winter Shelter. Near the concrete parking area, where there are also concrete blocks - this area is on the east side of the road.

This tension wire is a hazard for cyclists and needs to be well lit for better visibility in the dark. Reflectors on the wire and along the bend in the path would also add to the safety. I am a 7th grade student at Jackson Creek Middle School. I ride my bike to school every day on the High St recreational path at around 7:30 am. It is dark at that time and I use lights on my bike. On Friday, Nov 5, I was biking down the hill towards this spot. I was going fast down this hill to have enough speed for the uphill right past this spot. Unfortunately, even with my bike light, the tension wire and the sudden bend in the path is hard to see in the dark. My shoulder hit the tension wire and knocked me off my bike. My bike had minor damage to the seat.

Hello, I serve as the volunteer creek & trail monitor for the LC area. (via Sarah Owens & company) I went by the creek on Friday, 11-12-21, at approximately 3:15p.m., noticing a distinct change in the water. Noting the current construction near the Waterfall shelter, I am uncertain if this is related. This photo was taken near the south end of the creek, about 1/3 mile from IMI concrete company. Trying not to presume - is there a permit in place for discharging into the creek? Can water sampling and testing be performed. NOTE: I returned to the same area on Saturday afternoon, 11-13-21, and the water has cleared. No visual evidence of what had been observed on Friday. Thank you.

On the loop trail in Olcott Park there is a tree trunk down across the trail. On the trail down to the Goat Farm, there is a tree top down across the trail. Currently neither trail is ADA accessible.

Kudos to the city arborist who chose native trees to plant in the easement along the S High St trail project. The Yellowwoods and Eastern Redbuds will provide a nice "cream and crimson" display in the years they bloom in sync in spring. I do have to ask if the Yellowwoods are the right type of street tree to be planted 15ft from a busy street, given it's broad / round habit and potential to have multiple central leaders. Tree-bush?
