I understand that the dog park at Switchyard park is new and that the grass still needs to grow and be healthy. However, myself and fellow dog owners are concerned with how much the sprinklers are running. It's turning the dog park into a swampy mess. This morning when I went with my dog Bailey, the big tree was completely flooded around it and the far field near the hill was ver swampy and muddy. I couldn't even walk through the grass with him. He ended up twisting his foot in the wetness. I really believe it's just oversaturated. When I take my dog to the park, I'd love to be able to run around with him without us both coming home completely covered in mud.

Hi there! First off, Switchyard Park is looking really good. I know finishing touches are still in process. I was excited to see that the dog parks are now open. However, several times now we've taken our small dog (below 25 pounds) to the small dog park only to see that number of people have their large dogs in the enclosure. It wasn't possible to use the park because the dogs were rather rough during play with the other dogs. The first time we thought maybe it was a fluke but the subsequent two times the same thing happened.
The small sign on the placard isn't particularly visible so I'm wondering if it would be possible to have a sign directly on the entry gate labelled "small dogs" and a "large dog" sign on the opposite dog park gate? Perhaps you could also indicate either the weight maximum or example of standard dog breeds considered small v. large. I've seen such signs in other municipalities for their small v. large dog parks. Thank you!! Keep up the great work.

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.

My suggestion is there needs to be railings on these little bridges over the creek in Switchard Park. I can see kids walking on these and failing off of these bridges. Please put up a railing on these before someone gets hurt.

Hello! Is there a plan to resurface the pickle ball courts @ Switchyard Park? Each court has significant cracking now. Thank you for reviewing my comment!

Poison ivy next to the court where the balls roll all the time. We went through four balls because we have to switch balls every time we hit the poison. Ivy in an hour and 15 minutes. We've had one player get it so bad they had to go on prednisone. Please weed it.
