Dear Parks and Recreation Department,
We live in the residential neighborhood just across the street from Upper Cascades Skate Park. This is the second time a large group of cars and motorcycles has gathered there. During these gatherings, the motorcycles and vehicles repeatedly drive up and down Kinser Pike well beyond the posted speed limit, creating excessive noise from their engines and tailpipes.
This disturbance has been quite disruptive to our household. We have a nine-month-old baby who struggles to sleep even with our windows closed (which we shouldn’t have to close due to this disturbance), and our dog becomes frightened by the loud popping sounds.
If this group has obtained a permit for these activities, I respectfully request that Parks and Recreation notify nearby residents in advance so we can prepare accordingly. If they do not have a permit, or if this is a recurring event, I urge the department to reconsider allowing such gatherings out of consideration for those who live in the surrounding area.
This is now the second occurrence; after the first, we had hoped it would not happen again.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Trails

1 - Several tree limbs and foliage are down at the north end of the Overlook Trail, blocking entrance to the trail that is adjacent to the basketball court at the Skate Pk. I dragged some of them over so there is a small opening. 2 - If this is part of the city services, this same area - the north most section of the Overlook trail, entrance near the basketball court of skate park, could use pruning a bit of path clearing.
