Hello! I was wondering if I could gain permission to metal dectect on city parks and rec property? Specifically, I would like to try metal detecting at Lower Cascades. If permissible, I would minimize avoid any restricted areas, fill in any dig holes, and would remove all surface and underground trash encountered. Thanks for your time, and let me know if any other information is needed.

Near the sidewalk toward the parking lot (where it rounds to drive back around), there is a large hole that is difficult to see. Last evening, I stepped in it and rolled my ankle. I wanted to share so no one else gets hurt. I am happy to help locate it with photos are meeting someone there. I didn't have a chance to take a photo as I could barely walk and wasn't focused on the safety thoughts in the future.

Seminary park area is, as always, full of
Trash and abandoned personal possessions. Trash is being blown everywhere in the area including several retail areas. Some of the retail areas are abandoned or vacant. Regardless these retailers should not be accountable to pick all this trash up since the city cannot take care of the problem! There are also several homeless in the area with stolen shopping carts. Police need to intervene and return the stolen items to the owners. I continue to not understand why the city doesn’t take action or laws/rules in violation!!!!

Someone has scattered small, clear gelatinous balls on the ground on the rubber surface near Ford Street by the green curly slides. They may be completely benign—perhaps some type of Halloween candy? But they are unfamiliar to me and, unfortunately, very appealing to my 20 month old grandson. I tried to pick them up to throw them away, but there were too many, and they were spread over a large area. They are soft and squash when walked on.

The smell when driving by is so bad it makes me sick, if you are not going to move the homeless at least get porta pottyes so they are not just using the ground. No one wants to smell the foul odor coming from this park.

Loose bolt on basketball hoop at Switchyard: The south basket at the Switchyard basketball court has a loose screw that keeps needing replaced/tightened. As you face the basket, it's the upper-left bolt. A constituent has been voluntarily tightening it when it gets loose, but he wants it fixed. He said last time the bolt fell out and the washer was lost and had to be backordered/the basket was out of commission for a while. He said he's submitted some complaints before and it is still a problem.
