There needs to be a discussion with the Indiana Bobcats about the appropriate use of city parks. They continually park their cars on the grass around the concessions area. To get there, they drive down the path that runs north/south along the field. This is the path that is used by families and kids for walking/biking and is adjacent to the playground. They also drive on the path from the south end of the Olcott parking lot heading towards to the concessions building. Again this path is used by families and kids. They need to be told that these paths are NOT roads. There is ample parking at Olcott and the middle school. There is no reason for them to be driving on the paths and tearing up the grass around the concessions area.
I am glad to see organizations using our parks. However please convey to them that they need follow the same rules as the rest of us. Every home game the Indiana Bobcats park on the grass next the concessions stand. They drive their cars down the north/south path that runs along the field to access the concessions area. They also drive up the path from the very south end of the Olcott parking lot toward the concessions. See attached pictures. I don't know if one of their vehicles hit the bench on that path, but the bench is now broken. These paths are right next to the playground and are regularly used by family and children. Please inform them that these are NOT roads. There is ample parking at Olcott and the middle school. There is no reason for them to be parking on the field next to the concessions. On rainy days (like Sat), they also damage the grass in and around the concessions area.
Bunch of cars parked up on the grass at Olcott park during a football game on Saturday evening. Ridiculous - there is abundant available parking. They'll leave and we in the community will be stuck with the mess.
Saturday, June 27, 8pm. Whatever teams are using the football fields tonight are parked up on the grass next to the shelter. Unreal. There is an available parking lot (has spots), in addition to the street leading into Olcott (totally empty) and the middle school lot.
In the large dog park at Switchyard Park, a plank has fallen off the bench box under the shade structure, leaving a gap large enough for a dog to get inside the bench box. My dog got inside and luckily came out, but if there had been a firework or thunder, it would have been impossible to get her out. Please reattach! Thank you!
Wood chips all over the playground and under the climbing structure
Please ignore previous report. Hsiung was fantastic and fixed the problem with the splash pad. He made a lot of kids very happy! Thank you.
Splash pad is not on yet and kids are waiting. Can someone help, please? Thank you.
The wooden seat in the middle of the large dog park is dangerous due to slats that are not anchored down. Yesterday a dog jumped on one of smaller slats which came off and his paw and leg went into the opening. I have seen other instances where slats come off when jumped on by dogs or sat on by owners.This has been reported in the past. I fear it could become a liability issue.
