This evening at around 6:30pm there were three kids (seemed like maybe around eighth grade) riding electric bikes on the general purpose field north of the football field. They were intentionally sliding in grass and running the back tires while holding standing and holding the handle bars up. They took off north on The Strands Dr. I don't know what specifically could be done, but wanted to make someone aware in case damage of this type was on going.

Time to update this to indicate what the switch is for. Maybe update the wood post into something that looks less temporary. At least paint or stain. At best replace with a metal post.

On Sunday September 14, at around 8 pm, a guy who calls himself "Turbo" came in to the dog park with five out-of-control dogs. These dogs have repeatedly ganged up on my dog and on other dogs. Several people have repeatedly had conversations with him about controlling his dogs and respecting the two-dog-per-person rule at the park. Tonight, when we asked him to call off his dogs, he angrily yelled at my wife and other people at the park. I saw him yell at a guy named Jim and flip over one of the tables in front of him. We tried to leave, and he followed us and yelled at us. We brought our dog home and came back to see how Jim was doing, and in that time, he had returned to the park and was continuing to yell at Jim. Jim tried to file a U-Report, but he wasn't sure if it processed. If security patrols at the Switchyard see a middle-aged white male with gray dreadlocks and five dogs heading toward the dog park, they should know that this guy is trouble. I am concerned that he might escalate a situation, and I don't want to see anyone get hurt.

Three dogs running loose, dragging leashes. There are people laying on the sidewalk on the north side of a fenced in area in the middle of Hopewell Park. They are letting their dogs run around freely in the Astroturf grass area, there was also a loose dog within individuals around the tall green tables, a third dog ran across the street in front of me in between Kroger and The park area. They seem to be associated with the people laying and sitting around. We walk on the B line as I had mentioned before and live at 916 S. Morton St. We walk with our toy poodle. These were very large dogs that look similar to Pitbulls. If one of them would run over They Would chomp her in one bite. There’s also a tan Nissan van that parks there all day long every single day that I had also reported about. It continues to be there every day with people sitting out around it. I’ve also seen the people laying on the sidewalks all day long around the fenced in area on the north side to get in the shade every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday when I go to and from work for the last two weeks.
