The skatepark has piles of dirt in multiple spots. It's hard to skate and could cause unnecessary accidents. Probably runoff from rain, so it could be a recurring issue. Thank you.
Could we possibly get a water spigot, hose, and some plastic kiddie pools inside the fenced areas of the dog park? I belong to Karst Dog Park and those are so so valuable in these hot months.
On the bottom of a slide at Southeast Park, the letters “KKK” are spray painted on the slide.
Racist graffiti is on the bridge in the Renwick Neighborhood Association. This bridge is now maintained by the city and it is requested that the graffitti (by the creek level) be removed as soon as possible. This incident has already been reported to police by an HOA board member.
Enjoyed a picnic at Griffey lake Memorial Day. Disappointed that the city couldn’t mow it for the holiday.
My not yet one and a half year old tried to use one of the baby swings (the baby swing closest to the shelter) at Lion's Den shelter/Upper Cascades playground. The holes are so small we could barely get her feet through and had to remove her shoes to do so. The band between her legs was too wide and the seat made her sit awkwardly. When the larger seat was available we switched to it and I noticed her knees and thighs were dirty, red, and irritated, as well as had indentation marks from the swing. (You can see the swing responsible in the background of the picture showing what it did to her leg in just a few minutes.) We were only in it for a few minutes. This is the first time we've ever encountered a problem with any baby swing. It needs to be adjusted or replaced.
Homeowner has built their own private staircase and path on park property
Tents have been spotted in the woods along the creek north of the solar panels. Take the trail north and cross creek to find. not sure if just camping or experiencing homelessness but i think is against the rules.
Clear Creek trail, 1? mile south of Tapp, water fountain is taped up. It really would be good to get it going again, as is a needed water stop between Tapp and the Sheriff's substation further south.
