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.

My house shares a tree line with Southeast Park on Montclair Ave. During two storms this summer, trees on the park side have split and left large branches on the park side. These trees break due to the number of times they have been cut back by the utility companies (close to power lines that also border my property and the park) on my side of the tree line. Because of the location of the power lines and where the dead tree branches current lay, I do not know who's responsibility it is to clean up these dead limbs. I would like to request that the city take care of it, as we have had no control over the care of these trees and how they have been topped on only one side over and over again throughout the years. Thank you for your consideration and attention to this.

There is a hole at the base of the fence at Ferguson Dog Park. The picture does not really show how large it is but, my rather large, chubby beagle was able to get out yesterday.

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.

Please consider placing a restroom or port-o-let at Sherwood Oaks Park. It is a beautiful park but people use the woods as a restroom constantly.

Winslow Woods Park

There have been two men camping in the shelter at Winslow Woods park for well over a week. They sleep on the shelter picnic tables at night and stay all day in the shelter, burning wood in the bbq pit. They have been there every day I have gone to the community gardens for the past few weeks. They seem to be storing their belongings in a maroon vehicle that is always there. It is concerning that these individuals have set up camp in the shelter, which effectively keeps anyone else from using it. I thought the city was prohibiting camping in our parks, but this one has been going on for a while now.
Street Trees
221 E 12th ST
- Case Date:
- 7/15/2024
A very large tree fell along the back property line of 221 E 12th St striking a mature tree in the right of way where N Lincoln Street dead ends at the railroad tracks. This resulted in a pile of debris in the right of way, a large hanging limb causing some hazard and enough damage to the large tree and the right of way that it may fall causing more damage.
