There is a homeless camp set up inside the trail area in the northwest part of RCA Park, on the trail west of the University Quarry section, before the trail splits to the west and south. There are several tents and the inhabitants have at least two aggressive dogs. It also likes they were clearing the area with a hatchet or machete. This is right off the trail, inside the park.

Some of the larger trees that were planted a few years back still have some wrap on them, which is casing girdling to leader branch. Thank you!

The current number of courts (6) is completely inadequate. There are so many players in the mornings and evenings that you have to wait 30 minutes or more to play a single game. The solution is to add permanent pickleball courts where the remaining two tennis courts are now and put up a basic set of rules that encourages players to rotate off the court after they finish their game. Those tennis courts are rarely used for tennis and there are more than enough courts in other locations around the city.
There is a large encampment with tents. They have two guard dogs tied who bark if anyone approaches. They have cleared all vegetation of plants. They have an open fire. It has not rained for some time. This is a dangerous situation and unfair to all who would like to use the space.
