Please inspect the tree behind the New Hope dumpster that is on Park District strip of land. The tree is severally leaning and resting against another. It might be compromised due to last weeks storm. It might have been responsible for a smashed car windshield. If not there is some dead branches that are a risk to the New Hope staff and client parking on the North side of the property.
We came on the of 8/24 and they capsized a boat with 2 people in it and then we returned the next weekend and they loaded the boat improperly and we didn't even get to enjoy ourselves because we were to busy trying to keep the other boat from Going in circles because they put the larger person in the front and when I tried to let him know he rolled his eyes at me and walked away then still charged us the full amount
Wish list: We would love a fence around the baseball diamond! Currently balls often get lost in the tall grass/trees and roll down the hill. If a fence is not possible, could a perimeter mound be built so that when balls near the end of the field they slow down and don't go further. On the tennis court, a solo practice bounce wall would also be awesome so that kids/adults could play alone if a partner is not available. Lastly, could a pet dish attachment be added on the water fountain.
The street apron at the entrance to Leonard Springs Nature Park is badly eroded, to the point where vehicles can bottom out and scrape against the edge of the remaining asphalt. This happens even when turning very slowly and carefully into the park. I believe it needs to be filled in with road base and topped with asphalt or concrete. Thanks!
I noticed on Sunday 8/11/24 two vehicles parked on the grass at Bryan Park.b there was a party at the Woodlawn shelter, and people just decided to park on the grass, perhaps so that they could more easily carry items into the shelter. This is the third time I've seen that this year, and it's a terrible precedent to be set. There is a split rail fence along part of the park property on Woodlawn. Could Parks and rec consider extending that along with signage that says no parking? When people rent the shelter, that rule can be reinforced in the agreement to rent for the day. People, to be honest, are pretty stupid. There are no signs that say "no cars", and I think it needs to be explicitly stated. Otherwise, people are going to keep driving into the Woodlawn shelter area.
The tennis courts have cracks running through them and there are large weeds growing inside the tennis court fences.
Playground is incredibly overgrown. Some areas have a black, fungus like growth in the grass as well. I sent an email to Parks this morning before someone told me about this form.
Multiple trees need trimmed back from street, also from sidewalk you have to duck or move off sidewalk to get around them
Dead small tree
On the jackson creek trail between Olcott Park and Sherwood Oaks there is a large dead tree limb from the recent storm hanging over the trail.
