My not yet one and a half year old tried to use one of the baby swings (the baby swing closest to the shelter) at Lion's Den shelter/Upper Cascades playground. The holes are so small we could barely get her feet through and had to remove her shoes to do so. The band between her legs was too wide and the seat made her sit awkwardly. When the larger seat was available we switched to it and I noticed her knees and thighs were dirty, red, and irritated, as well as had indentation marks from the swing. (You can see the swing responsible in the background of the picture showing what it did to her leg in just a few minutes.) We were only in it for a few minutes. This is the first time we've ever encountered a problem with any baby swing. It needs to be adjusted or replaced.

Used and open syringes are being thrown every now and then at Bline Trail/ Switchyard park. Did we pay for this project so that drug addicts can shoot up and throw syringes where the kids are playing? Why are the restrooms not open for public use at the switchyard park as well as the BPD? Don't say that you don't have enough resources to hire and take care of those. Address the real problem.

The water fountain is leaking. Water is seeping out around the base of the fixture. Thank you for addressing the erosion to the north of the steps leading up to the shelter and park. Also, there are multiple areas of erosion around the park. Notable areas are to the east of the shelter and to the south of the sidewalk on the south side of the playground structure but there are presumably other bare areas prone to erosion due to their location on a hill or in a high traffic areas. To prevent long term damage to the structure of the park and not having the shelter area turn in to a muddy mess, please address these issues.

Are there plans to turn back on the city park water fountains any time soon? Not having access to drinking water is a real hindrance for runners.

I really like the dog park at Switchyard, but it could use water for dogs to drink in addition to hosing stations for dogs that get dirty. It is pretty standard for fog parks to have these amenities. Unfortunately, it makes it quite difficult to visit the park without them. The park is really great otherwise, but this small addition would help greatly. Thank you!
