Switchyard Park - East Parking lot needs wayfinding signs to help navigate to the best path to get to a desired destination in the park. Other parts of the park would probably benefit from wayfinding signs, too.
Trash in area behind convention center off blind trail
This hole needs a new, more substantial patch, maybe a heavy steel cover, like those used to cover holes on highways, smaller of course. Small kids were running across the split wood, one of them is going to get hurt or someone's foot is going to go through.
This tree is near my house and this branch fell across the side walk with the last heavy rain. The tree needs either trimming or removing as it continues to have fallen branches. I have picked up smaller pieces and moved the larger one onto the side. If someone is passing they could get injured.
Southeast Park tennis courts have tall weeds growing around the fence area. Also, the sidewalk on the northside of the tennis courts is caked in mud, making it difficult to use. This was addressed a couple of months ago, but the mud is back. Looks like the sidewalk needs to be raised or re-done to fix the problem.
There are two billboards on this parcel N of our neighborhood entrance on N Walnut St to the W beyond the chiropractor’s office. It appears this parcel was once owned by Hoosier Outdoor Advertising so, I’m presuming that once Steve Ferguson obtained it and Parks and Rec is now the owner that both of these billboards can be taken out and until that might happen at least the one with the lights can have those deactived along with any service. It would be perfect if this area would then be able to gain native trees to add our Tree City USA canopy and Haskell Smith would be able to increase our diversity with new trees followed by native shrubs et al that will be most welcomed over any likely invasive bush honeysuckle et al along this main coordinator into our City and from the N into Cascades Park along the E side of Old State Rd 37 or Dixie Hwy. Thank you for letting me know if I can provide any additional information that might permit this prime cooridor becoming most appreciated and greatly improved with native trees and plants stepping up our Greenspace cooridors W and E along N Walnut Street. Thank you!
Frank Southern Ice Arena: Disappointing that the frank is closed during summer. Cant play any pick-up/drop-in hockey unless you want to drive to Columbus (who's open year-round). I understand its probably expensive to operate, but if we could even get an outdoor roller hockey rink somewhere that would be fantastic. Just a thought.
Two cans of wasp POISON and what looks like a big spill of it left in the small dog park. Picture taken Saturday 8/2/2025 in the evening.
Dangerous dead limb on south west side of playground white pine
I would like to have the trees along the sidewalk in front of our house evaluated. A large branch fell from one in early July, picture attached. I am concerned about the remainder of this tree along with the others along the sidewalk.
