Switchyard Park is wonderful! Kudos to Parks & Rec.
Two suggestions:
1 - Please install umbrella holders (or umbrella holders + umbrellas, but I recognize there could be more of a theft issue)at the wooden 'bleachers' at the pickle ball courts.
2) For both dog parks at Switchyard, erect shaded areas perhaps similar to the Ferguson dog park. Suggest two or three areas per dog enclosure. This could be esp. crucial for helping maintaining dog health during summer months.
Also, install water hoses to clean dirt from paws + coat when play is over.
Thank you for considering!

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 railroad tracks have severe potholes on both sides making it very uneasy to cross. The size of the potholes also have the potential to cause serious damage to a car.

Sidewalk & Curb Complaints
3211 E 10th ST

The sidewalk in front of this complex (Townhouses on 10th) does not have ramps, just curbs, to cross the driveway to the complex. There is also a sunken area east of the complex entrance that is completely buried in dirt now (I'm not sure if it is on their property or on Woodbridge's, it is between). This makes it very difficult to walk through this area with a stroller and also makes it inaccessible to anyone unable to step down or up on a curb (and when it rains, the dirt-covered area turns into mud and gets pretty slick). There are some other areas that have shifted so the sidewalk is no longer even as well.

This empty lot has tall grass growing and is completely unkempt. The lot has not been mowed for several months. The owners need to mow the lawn regularly (at least ever other week). The neglected lot is ugly and unacceptable.
