At the north end of Park Ridge Park where we have been clearing invasives, just off the Polly Grimshaw Trail before it turns west and goes along the railroad, a pallet appeared among the winter creeper and bushes last week. I saw it on the 11th. It appeared to be over the boundary, and so on the property of The Crossing. On the morning of the 18th, there was a blue tarp on a mound on the pallet. I am guessing that someone is sleeping there, but the tarp stayed quiet and unmoving while I was there. The city may not be concerned since it does not appear to be on park land, and nothing has happened, but just in case someone keeps track.

Park Ridge Neighborhood Association would like a bike rack installed at Park Ridge Park. Can the installment coincide with the Longview Greenway improvement project next year? In my mind it makes sense to be at street level.

Was sitting on bench in Park Ridge East Park the other night at the tennis courts (is on the south side of the courts) and noticed the seat is deteriorating (peeling and rusty; go take a look). As it's the only one there, could you please see to it that it gets replaced? Fixed is fine but doubt it can be fixed. Thank you! It's awesome to have great neighborhood parks in town.

Wish list: We would love a fence around the baseball diamond! Currently balls often get lost in the tall grass/trees and roll down the hill. If a fence is not possible, could a perimeter mound be built so that when balls near the end of the field they slow down and don't go further. On the tennis court, a solo practice bounce wall would also be awesome so that kids/adults could play alone if a partner is not available. Lastly, could a pet dish attachment be added on the water fountain.

Please post a sign at Park Ridge East shelter reminding residents that the shelter is not reservable. Leah Sinn Iversen and others have been trying to reserve on behalf of groups. With just the one shelter, drop-in use is appreciated. Thank you!

While removing the bush honeysuckle from behind this guard rail and into the preserve the erosion from stormwater runoff was noticed. How can we look to mitigate this drainage issue? I can email a photo and video but, attempting to submit it in this report isn’t working.

There is an abandoned non-electric bicycle along the south edge (downhill side) of the paved path between Sherwood Oaks Park and the Olcott Park parking lot. Another walker told me that it had been there several days.
