I’m a frequent user of Switchyard park, but I’m very unhappy with the state of the parking lot on Walnut St. I’ve seen city employees out working in the area several times, but it’s still unsightly. The beds are sparse and bare-looking. It appears as though the working crew has mulched around Johnson grass - an invasive grass - and tall fescue. Does the landscaper not know the difference between invasive and ornamental grasses? Not only this, the hills south of the stage area around the playground and dog park are filled with thistles, Johnson grass, and other invasives. Is the city’s flagship park not worth landscaping maintenance? Considering that this is the city’s most beloved, brag-worthy park and it still looks awful, I’m hesitant to visit other parks.

Why are we allowing the unhoused to live in this park? There are currently 9 people sleeping in the park. People are bringing them charcoal and they are living in the shelters.

The thistle weeds near the parking area are about 4 feet tall and numerous. The doggie poop bin is full and smells nasty. Could someone come and clear out the weeds?

An older couple frequently brings their three dogs to Ferguson Dog Park. One of those dogs, is an 18 month old intact male Doberman Pincher. He has attempted to mount my 11 year old, spayed Aussie mix. If he is successful in putting his body on hers, she will fight back. And we know that a young intact male dog that is nearly 8 inches taller than her will indeed make a mess of my life. I have seen them there on three occasions, causing other visitors abiding by the law/rules of the park, to become agitated and thereby leaving, just as I did. The couple drives a newer model Land/Range Rover, dark grey, always in spectacular condition. They are often there midday or late afternoon. It would be very helpful if someone puts a BIG SIGN on all gates stating that only spayed and neutered dogs are allowed. Please help us keep our law abiding, special companions and masters safe. This couple has made it clear that they simply don't care.

The integrated playground at Winslow park is directly adjacent to a high voltage solar panel area. This evening, while using the walking path, my husband and I observed 2 VERY young little girls INSIDE the high voltage fence area. They had climbed over the low fence into the solar panel area. I'm sure this is a major liability to parks and rec. My husband and I warned them out of the area and they climbed the fence easily. They looked to be about 6 YO....and as we walked on and looked back they were coming back with a friend. I warned them of the danger and they turned back.

Two issues that do not reflect well on the park: the sign about native plants in a mulched bed that contains mostly weeds. (This is curly dock.) And the starlings that are nesting in the tip of the roof over the picnic tables and leaving droppings. Please do not disturb the barn swallow nest in the back corner. They are neither noisy nor messy.
