I’m a frequent user of Switchyard park, but I’m very unhappy with the state of the parking lot on Walnut St. I’ve seen city employees out working in the area several times, but it’s still unsightly. The beds are sparse and bare-looking. It appears as though the working crew has mulched around Johnson grass - an invasive grass - and tall fescue. Does the landscaper not know the difference between invasive and ornamental grasses? Not only this, the hills south of the stage area around the playground and dog park are filled with thistles, Johnson grass, and other invasives. Is the city’s flagship park not worth landscaping maintenance? Considering that this is the city’s most beloved, brag-worthy park and it still looks awful, I’m hesitant to visit other parks.

We have seen a few people frequently using the tennis court at Sherwood Oaks Park for soccer. They would practice shooting soccer ball against the tennis wall and court fences. Those structures are damaged because they are not designed to withhold such strong impact. Please consider putting a sign to warn against similar activities. Thank you!

The park courts need new rims they are broken. They need new nets and the backboards need repainted.

Case #179848 is marked closed and labeled as resolved though it never was. Problem is still a problem and has been since originally reported. People traveling east bound are forced to use wrong side of trail if they don't want muddy shoes, slip or fall as they walk or run. Also, people on bikes or using strollers traveling east bound use wrong side of trail because of risks due to poor maintenance. Then, those traveling west bound, walking running or riding have routinely been forced off trail towards Moores Pike (very narrow grassy seperation there) or have a head on collision with those using wrong side of trail. Please remove silt, mud, gravel, etc. Please dig out a channel so it can drain properly in the future. Thank you.

Where the Southeast park/renwick trail runs parallel to hillside/east Moores there needs to be some kind of barrier between the road and the pedestrians. The speed limit is 30 but the average speed of traffic is 45-50

The renwick trail is plowed but the parking lot is not. Too many people with front wheel drive came here to sled and can’t get out.

Switchyard Dog Park needs a hose or more accessible water spout/fountain installed for large communal (dog) water bowls. Ferguson model works well. An awning that actually provides shade (current one does not) would also be wonderful. Thank you :)

This tree is leaning dangerously toward the street. There is often a line of cars waiting to turn onto Hillside, and it would likely crush one of them.
