Lights do not turn on in the evening at the skateboarding area... this is a safety hazard, especially now that it’s dark by 9:30, but the park doesn’t close until 11pm.

How long will the City allow graffiti to be over a pride flag and trans flag on a mural? People's park. You can celebrate black lives matter without saying marginalized LGBT lives don't. Time to think of a different way to honor blm. Bring back rare Midwestern recognition of lgbt people. Please. It's just plastered over like the city doesn't care.
There is a lot of Poison Ivy growing on the sidewalk on Highland Ave at entrance to the Winslow Sports Complex walking path. It would be nice to have that go away.
The swings at Building & Trades park squeak. Can someone please apply lubricant.
Can Olcott Park change out several if their "big kid" swings to toddler/baby swings???? The big kid swings are always empty and the toddler/baby swings usually have a wait.
Cascades Park parking is incredibly confusing. Tried to approach from south but said detour and didn't direct anywhere. Half hour later found through the golf course in the north. Closing to through traffic is fine but should at least be able to get to a parking lot from the south before a road close. It should said closed to through traffic on south instead. And then road closed after a lot. Major deterrent to use of park.
What improvement is in store for the Bryan Park tennis court? It's a good social distancing sport. Could this work have waited till Fall?
1) Why are white and orange circles sprayed up the slope between the basketball court and the picnic shelter? 2) is it true that ragweed can not be mowed along the east and west sides of the stream that joins Sheridan Creek? A guy pruning bald cypress told me that, but I know that some years it is kept under better control. I don't think mowing closer will endanger the plentiful jewel weed, senna, cup flowers, blue mist flower, etc.
Our neighborhood park is almost constantly being now used by a guy giving tennis lessons to folks who don't live near. Is that allowed? Maybe it is but is a bummer he makes money while we can't use them. Not sure what the solution that is best
Hello I have noticed a ton of cigarette waste at switchyard park. I also noticed there is a lack of trash cans along the trail in SWP. I know the park is still under development and trash recepitcals are forthcoming. However, I wanted to let the P&R dept. know about cigarette waste recycling through terra cycle. I think it would be a great way to keep the parks clean and help the planet at the same time! https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades/cigarette-waste-recycling
