ihitPolly Grimshaw Trail (east portion near tennis court) has numerous bumps that are hazards to bikes at speed (coming down the hill at night. Could they be leveled out is some manner, like we have done with hazardous concrete side walks. Here is a video of the section. https://photos.app.goo.gl/suXcMYAf74QbcxjL6
Homeless harassing park patrons. They are also stealing power from an outlet on the pole in the north east corner of park. They have piled up trash in that corner of the park as well.

The road is falling apart several very large potholes, this lead to me laying down my motorcycle several months ago and now to the point you have to stop on thrid street becuase driving slowly over or turning into the wrong lane.
Potholes at S. PARKRIDGE RD. and E. THIRD ST. getting bigger.
At the north end of Park Ridge Park where we have been clearing invasives, just off the Polly Grimshaw Trail before it turns west and goes along the railroad, a pallet appeared among the winter creeper and bushes last week. I saw it on the 11th. It appeared to be over the boundary, and so on the property of The Crossing. On the morning of the 18th, there was a blue tarp on a mound on the pallet. I am guessing that someone is sleeping there, but the tarp stayed quiet and unmoving while I was there. The city may not be concerned since it does not appear to be on park land, and nothing has happened, but just in case someone keeps track.
Park Ridge Neighborhood Association would like a bike rack installed at Park Ridge Park. Can the installment coincide with the Longview Greenway improvement project next year? In my mind it makes sense to be at street level.
there's a very dead tree smack in the middle of the playground — between the swings and the slides. very hazardous.
Wish list: We would love a fence around the baseball diamond! Currently balls often get lost in the tall grass/trees and roll down the hill. If a fence is not possible, could a perimeter mound be built so that when balls near the end of the field they slow down and don't go further. On the tennis court, a solo practice bounce wall would also be awesome so that kids/adults could play alone if a partner is not available. Lastly, could a pet dish attachment be added on the water fountain.
