One court's net post is leaning so far over, the net is almost unusable. Thank you!
There have been two deafening concerts at switchyard today. Noise level is far beyond normal. Love our parks but It's nearly 7:00 p.m. and this music is way too loud. Thanks.
The religious music blasting out of switchyard Park right now is incredibly loud. I don't know why the city would approve such a thing but please don't allow this again.
There are two chains that are supposed to be connected to seats and then into the ground that are broken off. They just need repaired because some bigger kids are pulling them back and swinging them hard around other kids.
Whatever is happening at Switchyard Park today is WAY too loud for a Sunday afternoon, or anytime, really. I’m on Country Club and can hear it clearly inside my house. Thank you.
Switch yard park has become a nightmare, noise wise. Currently our house is shaking due to loud music. This has been going on all day today and constantly for MONTHS! No one is doing anything about it! I’ve spoken to switchyard park, I have sent emails to the community offices, I’ve sent emails to Switchyard park, I have called the non emergency line, my mother has SPOKEN TO CITY OFFICIALS WHO CAME TO OUR HOUSE TO CHECK ON HOW WE THOUGHT Switchyard park was doing noise wise because they live FURTHER away from the park and it caused a problem for them. I have autism and my mother has autism and MS. We are NOT SAFE in our own home. Why is no one doing anything??? We can’t afford to move and we’re not told about the issue before we bought our home. We are being run out of our homes in the mobile home park directly behind the park when there are events. I’ve almost swallowed a bottle of pills MULTIPLE times because of this issue. We struggle enough to survive in this city and should have the ability to rest in our own home. This is entirely fixable by having a noise and bass limit placed. I don’t understand why we’ve been ignored by EVERY SINGLE PLACE WE’VE turned to for help. I understand to most people it’s just a nuisance but to those of us who have nowhere else to go it’s pure pain and torture. Please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s clear that Building and Trades park is not a priority as renovations have paused but it would be great if there was more attention paid to it. The playgrounds are routinely flanked by people gambling, smoking, using drugs, and unleashed dogs. MSI Security comes through and does nothing more than scan a QR code. The playgrounds are rarely used by children anymore. Just because Hopewell can’t get its act together doesn’t mean that the park should be left to rot. There are citizens and families in this neighborhood that deserve better instead of waiting for tenants in a. neighborhood that doesn’t exist. How about resurfacing the basketball courts? How about taking notice of the positive ways the park gets used and supporting those, instead of updating a single pavilion that most people are scared to use?
A winding asphalt path runs through the middle of Bryan Park between Woodlawn and Henderson. Originally it was cinder-paved and used primarily by recreational pedestrians and runners. It now serves cyclists, as a connector between the bike-pedestrian lanes on Sheridan and Southdowns on the east and the Allen Street Greenway on the west. I believe it is state law that cyclists yield to pedestrians but on this path many cyclists don't warn pedestrians when they are overtaking nor do they slow down when pedestrians are present. Because of the path's curvy nature; defensive cycling really requires slower speed. Please post notices at the Woidlawn and Henderson ends of the path, alerting cyclists to slow down and be aware of the blind curves.
A board of the mural has fallen off. I love this mural so much I hope it can be maintained.
