Re: 168092, filed 4/14/19 and not answered. When you installed the lights along the paved path between Olcott Park and Sherwood Oaks Park, you disturbed a wide swathe of wildfowers. These include Bloodroot, Jack in the Pulpit, Toadshade Trillium, Larkspur, Trout Lily, Cut Leaved Toothwort, Harbinger of Spring and Spring Beauty. Now you have planted grass, which does not belong in a woodland, and when mowed will further damage these native plants. This bit of woods is most unusual in the city for its native plants and trees. Is there not anyone in the Parks Department who values this? We are losing our native plants.

At Ferguson Dog Park there are a couple large mud pits. I and others have noticed there are dogs using the bathroom in these pits and i'm worried dogs will get sick. Not to mention how dirty they get. A lot of water is being wasted cleaning all the dogs. Is there a way these pits could get filled in? I would also like to thank you all for maintaining the dog park. We absolutely love going there and do so four times a week.

Hi, First, thank you for removing the leaves from Park Ridge Park, the excellent park in the Park Ridge neighborhood, in April. Now, it seems like it is in need of a little bit of post-winter care. The areas where the leaves laid overwinter have become bare (see the picture). This is a spot that the Parks Department has worked hard trying to recover before and I suppose it is time work on it again. There are also other bare spots in the park where leaves had laid over winter (by the shelter - to the east) and for some unknown reason to the south of the swings. Could these areas please be addressed with grass seed and straw to make sure that park stays maintainable, that the structures don't end being compromised by erosion, and to make the park less of a mess after a rain? Also, the mulch covering the area underneath the playground structure may need refilled, in particular underneath the swings. Finally, is there a regular schedule under which these aspects of the park(s) get addressed? I am sure there are priorities and limited resources. We do not want to bother the department - if we knew that this maintenance would be done (based on a known schedule), then we would only have the thank yous to include instead of a thank you and a request. Thanks again.

The water at Ferguson dog park has been shut off. This is a pretty big problem because dog owners have been taking their dogs here to exercise them expecting that the water will be on to hydrate their dogs. There's no sign or explanation about why the water is off or when it will be back on.

Norway Spruce near Bryan Park tennis court has another tree growing under it, and some other saplings and weeds. Please suggest to Parks & Rec to have an employee uproot that other tree and weed around the spruce. Thanks!

Ferguson Dog Park. My puppy was bitten by a pitbull that was not neutered. I rushed my puppy to the vet, where I am currently, because he is bleeding from the wounds. I was unable to get the owner or dog's name, nor the car that they drove. I had not seen the pitbull or owner there before. I just want to report and make aware of the incident that occurred today, June 20th 2019, at around 1:30 pm.
