The Clear Creek Trail near the bridge construction at Gordon/Fullerton was covered in mud at the detour of the trail. I was heading from That Road toward Rockport and had to turn around due to all of the mud covering the trail. That was Saturday 9/21/2024 at 9am.
There neddle at Seminary Square Kroger Northwest corner next to bike racks.
There’s a street light on a utility pole that is above the north east corner of the basketball courts of the building and trades park that has had a pine tree grow up around it. The light appears to be broken/nonfunctioning. It would be nice to have a functioning light(s) on the court.
There is a big tree that has started falling towards Swain Ave. It is located just north of my property in an old city alleyway. Right now, the tree is held up by two communication lines. I called Duke and they said it was not their lines. I’d hate for it to fall onto someone’s car or worse on Swain Ave.
The tennis court lights are not turning on in the evening. I was there Friday night from 7:00 PM until 8:30 PM expecting the lights would eventually turn on. They didn’t and everyone playing tennis had to leave because of the darkness.
There are pests like hornets, yellow jackets, and wasps nested in the equipment
At switchyard dog park in the large dog area, there is a huge pool of muddy water. It looks like when they fixed the puddle the other month, it just moved the problem to a different spot and is now even worse. Where the pipe drains out, it has created a large pool of muddy water that dogs lay in, eat, and drink. This is a health hazard for the dogs, and they seem to be drawn to the mud because of the heat. I ask that this hole be filled, and that the pipe extends to a location that does not flood the dog park to avoid this issue from continuing to happen.
I wanted to have a meet up with some parents and their children at the park so went to scope it out around 5pm on a Friday afternoon and there were at least eight adults with lots of stuff hanging out and 2 out of 3 restrooms were locked. I know that a public park is for everyone, so I'm talking about of both sides of my mouth, but I didn't feel comfortable and didn't want to have my kids two year old birthday party at the trades park. Seems like a good place to put some more houses, since the park can't be used by everyone. In theory I like the picnic shelters being by the playground so I can sit and eat and watch my kids, but I think I prefer Butler Park while if there are transients who come off the railroad track they aren't at the playground.
Dead tree limb hanging low over sidewalk.
There is a dead possum on the trail into RCA park
