The large tree on the back corner of Peoples Park and Bicycle Garage' parking lot is dead and is shedding branches daily and large brancks during strong storms.On June 18, 2021 two large branches fell on my back parking lot. I removed them and cut them up for disposal. We have asked to have this tree removed many time I will ask again please remove this tree. It is dangerous for public safety.

The new dog park at Switchyard is very pretty, but it lacks basic amenities to make it really useable. At the Ferguson park there is access to water in the park (not outside the gates) and it’s a spigot that can be used to fill a bowl. The setup at Switchyard makes it basically impossible to spend more than a few minutes in hot weather. Also, it looks like there was a plan to have a dog rinse area like at Ferguson, but it’s just an empty vestibule. Could you at least run a hose as a temporary measure? Especially if there are going to be permanent mud puddles right by the entrance.
There’s also nowhere shaded/sheltered in the park. The pergola over the outer seating area looks cute but isn’t very practical.
I’ve hiked the quarter mile with my dog on weekend days only to find no one there and had to leave basically immediately because the park is essentially unusable on a hot sunny day. Everyone is at the old park on those days.

This park needs more dog waste disposal bins around the perimeter trail so that dog owners can throw out the waste instead of leaving it.

There is a lot of parks activity at 9th street park right now. Wjhah looks like a class with kids has 4 staff members who are all wearing masks and appropriately distancing. However there are about 6 guys in neon yellow shirts just yards away from them at the playground. They are not wearing masks, spitting and all clustered together. Its almost like completely separate worlds. What is the mask policy for city employees?

Bryan Park has nice horseshoe pits but there is no sand in the pits, which allows the horseshoes to land and mainly stay in place. The hard ground and a tree root or two causes a well placed throw to bounce 8-10 feet. It throws off the legitimacy of the game and is potentially hazardous when those throws bounce way beyond the pits (if passers by get too close). So some sand or sawdust in the pit boxes would be a great improvement at almost no cost.
