Hello,
The volleyball court at Lower Cascades is falling apart. The net is pulled down and full of holes. Also the grass is creeping on the sand which does not make it a well defined court. The sand is also full of twigs and rocks. In addition, the nearby streetlight does not turn on so we can not keep playing after dark. My friends and I meet here every week to play because the Bryan park court is always taken.For all its faults it is dear to us so please fix it up so we and others may enjoy it for much longer.
Thank you,
Arin S.

There is what appears to be vomit at the top of the orange slide. It was there Tuesdaya and Wednesday night when my children went to play. I reported this under case #183662 but forgot to attach a location. Thanks!

I was walking the trail with my kids and a large scary homeless man started hurling insults and curse words at me or someone close to me. I’ve seen him do this multiple times and he is making impossible and even dangerous for people to visit Cascades.

The playground bathrooms are both locked, this is the third time I’ve visited this playground with the restrooms unavailable. Really a bummer for the kiddos to stop playing because we have to leave to find a bathroom

Garbage is strewn about on the B-Line. Broken glass, raw meat, dirty paper products, etc. It has been there since at least 11 AM this morning. My wife and I are going to go pick up what we can with a trash bag but I wanted to document the situation.

Water and mud and moss is accumulating on the path between Olcott park and Sherwood oaks park to the east of the red bridge over Jackson creek. Makes it hard to use and it is dangerous because it is slippery.

There used to be No Tresspassing signs here after more people started going out on trails during the lockdown. Many people still think it’s part of the park. Few city people know the purple paint means the same thing. Owners of both sides of the property line must agree to use paint instead of signs. Did the city really agree to this? One guy on the path down from Olcott thought the paint marked the BHSS cross country course. If he really wants to keep people out he needs to invest in maintaining real signage or fencing.

Hello!
First, thank you for being one an absolutely cherished and wonderful part of our city. Parks and Rec does such great work!
On the Jackson Creek Trail between Sherwood Oaks Park and Olcott Park, just past the bridge as you head up the hill on the way to Olcott Park, there is a Sycamore Tree leaning over the path, and a smaller tree has fallen and is leaning on the Sycamore. Would you mind having Urban Forestry check that out please? There are so many people who use that path between the parks.
Thank you so much for all that you do!
Sincerely,
Bronwyn Shroyer
