My wife took our kids to switchyard park today and went to the playground area where 3 men who she did not know seemed to follow her and the kids around various areas of the playground. They were hanging around close enough for her to feel unsafe and leave the park, which is very unlike her. My request would be for areas (particularly those used by younger children) to have an increase security presence so folks aren't feelin this way in our parks.

Last two Sundays Switchyard park especially the playground has been covered in trash. The best part is that there have been multiple parks employees standing around some "picking up trash" in the same small area for long periods of time. Not sure if this is a "not my job" situation but it really wouldn't take much time if employees showed motivation in cleaning up the park.

At switchyard park. Two different groups of people with stolen shopping carts from local retailers. I see this throughout town constantly and see law enforcement, parks department, and other city officials ignoring this problem. No individual own these shopping carts at any point and they cost retailers hundreds of dollars each. Law enforcement needs called anytime somebody sees an individual with a shopping cart outside of that business. Those carts need returned to their owners and those people need held accountable via the law. Please help rising cost of consumers goods!!!!

My son was arrested and his vehicle was left over there. It is in my name and I am in the process of trying to get him to release the key to someone so we can get it moved so I am asking if you could please not tow it without contacting me first at [email protected] or 8123607958. My goal is to have it out of there by Wednesday if you will allow me to work on it. I have been trying since he was put in jail.

Not enough pickle ball courts. I went on Sunday and 15 people were waiting continually for two hours. It causes an issue because people are sitting on the courts. Also, it can be frustrating for them to have to wait so long to play it would be nice if the city would create more Pickleball courts. This is a very popular sport and has been for many years. I’ve tried to play a Park Ridge in East. This is not a solution. It took 20 minutes to put up the net. I had to find a way to get the combination to the lock. It took another 15 minutes to take it down and put it all away. The lines are confusing, so my group has decided not to play there.

I have encountered the security service truck several times while walking on the trail at RCA Park and the windows are tinted so that you cannot see who is inside the truck. This makes me feel unsafe.

Please cover over the old tennis lines on your pickleball courts. Having both sets of lines are confusing. Also, could wind clothes be added to lessen impact of wind. Due to COVID, more people are using this facility. Because of the nature of the restroom there, it is closed. Could a portable restroom be added to this location. There is not an easy way to replace this necessary need. In addition, is it possible to convert other tennis courts in the city to pickleball courts? Thanks for your consideration, Victoria Lee
