Hi! There’s a really large tree right across the street from our house that is totally rotten out and dead on one side and leaning towards our house. I’m terrified it will fall on us. I talked to a parks employee today who said he also sent an email. Hopefully it can be taken down asap, thank you!
There is a tall tree in Butler park across the street from our house. We have noticed that it’s rotted out and leaning towards our house. We are concerned that it could come down in a storm and impact our home. We would like to request that this tree be removed. Thank you!
The lighting along the east side of the walking path which circles Winslow Sports Park was not lit at 9 PM tonight, August 23. That section is very dark without light after dark, and has been a safety concern in the past. Thank you.
Walking through the park this afternoon and found a used syringe NEXT TO THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT. I cleaned that and multiple empty/half full bottles of liquor and cans of beer up, as well as packs of cigarettes and other nicotine products, some of the boxes still had products in them. Oh and condoms. On the playground. We are spending a lot of money to upgrade this "park", it would be great if the city would do something about the junkies that have taken it over. Your "security patrol" came and timidly took some pictures with his phone to make it look like he did something, idk. We are begging the city to do something about the junkies, they are migrating in to the neighborhood and causing problems. Please spend some of that money actually cleaning this park up.
Guys doing drugs on picnic table area at Switchyard while families are there with children. Happens every time we are there and very discouraging the parks are not safe.
Switchyard Park - East Parking lot needs wayfinding signs to help navigate to the best path to get to a desired destination in the park. Other parts of the park would probably benefit from wayfinding signs, too.
Large dog park at Switchyard. You guys were so responsive to my recent report, I thought I would send you another one. You have at least 5 broken sprinkler heads that are leaking water. See attached file. I didn't walk the whole park. There may be others between the big hill and sun shade area. Otherwise park is great (once the mud hole is filled in)! Us dog owners love it. Thank you.
There are people who are unhoused living in the area around the old torn down shelter house slab and in the woods at RCA Park.
Tree down across trail in Southwest corner.
The Lower Cascades Playground - The Yellow wooden Floors in the Lower Playground are deteriorating pretty badly. They are probably okay for the season, but there are starting to be significant signs of needing repairs and replaced. The Upper Cascades Playground main slide is not structurally sound to carry the weight of a three year old. The sections are splitting from each other.
