LARGE DOG PARK: While drainage has been added and temporary fencing put in, one section of fencing (the smaller one) does not encompass all of the water problem. The last time we brought our dog here she ran into the mud puddles (multiple times) and drank the water, which has previously made her sick. We will not go back until we hear it has been fixed completely.
The bathrooms are locked. The park is full of people and the bathrooms aren't available.
It is after 10pm and there is still a concert going on at the park so loud that it is making my house thump. There needs to be a limit on how late they can go. I have work in the morning and several of my neighbors do as well. This is ridiculous it's been going all day and we got no notice.
Merry go round at Switchyard Playground inoperable
There is almost no shade at all in the Switchyard playground. I understand, of course, that nothing can be done in terms of tree cover until the recently-planted ones grow and create more shade, but why in the world do the metal slats above the wooden benches along the west side of the playground not have some kind of canopy over them? They don't block sun or rain and seem to be completely useless. We love Switchyard but it's really inconvenient to not have any shade or rain protection over at least part of the park. I can't imagine it would be very expensive to install some kind of canvas cover above the slats, at the very least.
Please create more shade at Switchyard Park near the playground and splash pad. I was there with a young child and a baby this weekend, and it was impossible to keep the baby in shade while still having a view of the child on the playground or on the splash pad. The grates above the swings do not offer shade, and both shelters were being used by groups/parties. There should be shade structures at the playground and alongside the splash pad. I encountered a number of people with the same complaint.
A Park’s personnel was using a leaf blower on the Pickleball courts at 8:30 in the morning. She spent 15 minutes on each court with people playing pickle ball. Felt like this was way too long to spend on each court. The noise was incredibly loud for us trying to play And the courts did not look like they needed a meticulous cleaning . Thanks
We encountered a group of homeless men in the rail trail around 12:30 today. They had their belongings scattered around the trail and we felt threatened by them. We did turn back towards the parking area and continued towards Switchyard. As a senior, we feel our safety at risk Can you please contact someone to get the area cleaned up?? We haven’t been to that trail for a while and we’re disappointed to see the mess Thanks
With the hot weather recently we've been taking our small children to the switchyard park playground earlier in the morning to beat the heat. It's really baffling as to why the restrooms here don't open until 10:00 AM. There are a lot of families on the playground before then that would really appreciate restroom access for small children.
I live near the entrance to the Switchyard Park. It is where I walk almost daily. I have noticed that the beautiful flower beds are full of weeds, some as tall or taller than the flowers. The last two years there were crews weeding and clearing on a regular basis but I haven't seen them this year. It seems a shame to have planted the beautiful flowers only to have weeds take over the beds. Thank you for receiving this information. I'd appreciate knowing if the flower beds will be tended to.
