There are exposed wires in the ground inside the large dog pen at the Switchyard dog park . There are two wire protection covers side by side on the west edge of the pen in the flat. One of them appears to have been damaged by a mower. There were small chunks of the plastic cap all around the area. It might be wise to fix this so that it will cooperate with future mowing.
Best,

Switchyard Dog Park, Large Dog enclosure
Please erect a barrier promptly, around the collection of mud + water about 25 feet from the entrance. During my 1st visit with my dog on Saturday, 9-11, he noticed the area by following another dog into the mud. Note there is no hose + water source to rinse dogs, unlike Ferguson Dog Pk, which has this resource during non-winter months. In addition to causing damage to the interior of my car, the muddy substrate was not easily cleaned. A rash has developed in several areas of my dog's skin. Water alone did not remedy the muck; standard dog shampoo fared a bit better. I diluted Dawn dish detergent, which worked best but likely added to the discomfort of the rash. We have a veterinary appt on Monday to address. Again, please erect a barrier around this area and also plan for long-term, engineering solution. Thank you.
(I also suggest the installation of water hoses and will submit that separately.)

The Switchyard Skatepark lights need turned back on for the evenings. I've talked to the construction crew and they only intended them to be off for the first couple days. Thanks!

Switchyard Skatepark lights still haven't been turned on. B-Line and adjacent park lights came on around 7:10p last night, and by the time I left at 8 (because it was too dark to keep skating), they still weren't on. I'd really like to make sure they're on for tomorrow's opening of the new features! (Though tonight would be better)
Secondary comment: Is there a way to update old tickets instead of creating new ones? I've tried replying to the emails in the past but that didn't seem to work.

The skate park drain is clogged so water is just sitting there when it hasn't rained in a while.

Old tire in the creek area of switcyard park. Possibly washed down from elsewhere with all the rain we've been having this week. See marked area on picture of map attached for area. It's north of the splashpad, south of the skate park, in the stream bed between he east & west bridges on the B-Line
