The shrubbery along the west side of the trail around the Winslow sports complex needs to be pruned back especially in the area near the wooden bridge. It's growing halfway across the trail. The shrubbery near the south east corner of the trail might also benefit from some pruning.
Fix the bike routes we have! Placing patch over a patch over another patch might be good for cars, but it make biking dangerous. The stretch of Highland between the Y and Winslow are already very dangerous because of speeding cars and poor visibility around bends in road. Add poor road conditions and this makes biking very dangerous. Someone is going to get killed.
Highland between Winslow and the Y needs to be resurfaced. Constantly patching the road only makes it more unsafe for bicycles, and this is a major North-South bike route. Multi-ton buses run over this route about 40 times per day. This section needs an upgrade to handle this load.
There is a leaking fire hydrant in the parking lot of the Winslow Sports Complex, on the south side near the handicap parking spaces and the entrance to the ball fields.
Yesterday I visited the playground at Winslow Woods Park with my son. The playground space is in dire need of repair. The rubber flooring is patchy, worn, and disintegrating, creating trip hazards. The climbing jungle gym is rusty, with peeling paint and worn plastic. It does not seem structurally unstable, but could use at least some sanding and repainting to make it safer for young children. My experiences at other city parks and playgrounds have all been wonderful, so this seems out of character. I'd be interested to know if there is a barrier to repair/replacement of equipment at this park, if it is slated for removal, or if there is anything I can do as a resident to help advocate for its upkeep. We love to visit our parks and appreciate all the good work the Parks Department does for our community!

The trails around Winslow Sports Park are still covered in snow and ice. People use these trails to commute to work and school. Please clear them as soon as temperatures allow for removal. The section of trail parallel to Wexley Rd is particularly bad.
The path around winslow sports complex is one that I bike every weekday. This patch of trail is VERY dangerous right now with an edge to it that has gotten even larger over the past month. I bike with my two kids on my bike and it is a section of the trail that I'm afraid will pop my tires or will cause me to derail. I know there are those who use walkers and other such accessibility items and I assume that for them this is also a large issue. Thank you for helping us have awesome parks.
Someone has trashed the shelter at Winslow Woods. There's party trash and broken glass all over the shelter and on into the woods. It's a terrible mess.
It really would be great if the City would do something about the shape of the aging ballfields at Winslow such that an afternoon storm on one day doesn’t affect two or more days’ worth of baseball games – it seems to have gotten progressively worse over the last few years. As a local business owner, I would be extremely frustrated to sponsor these facilities when a little rain keeps the fields from being playable.
