There is an abandoned non-electric bicycle along the south edge (downhill side) of the paved path between Sherwood Oaks Park and the Olcott Park parking lot. Another walker told me that it had been there several days.
Both playgrounds at Building and Trades park are very overgrown with weeds, also cobwebs.
Please replace the upper tennis court lights at the Winslow Park. More than half of the lights are burned out. Also, please tuen on the lights about 45 minutes earlier. It’s too dark for playing match around 8:00 pm.
The tennis courts have cracks running through them and there are large weeds growing inside the tennis court fences.
Bunch homless hanging out at public park not safe for children. Always needles and caps loud music
There is a nest of territorial bees in the hole in the parking marker pole The marker is second from farthest from gates into dog play areas. They stung and gave us chase across the lot before relenting so they are definitely a hazard in this spot.

This dogwood tree looks to be suffering from dogwood anthracnose. It needs some fungicide treatment if parks and rec wants it to survive.
Switchyard Park playground, there's a patch of the play surface that's ripped and sinking in. My friend's kid stepped in that spot while running to play and it tripped her. If you are at the large black swings on the south end of the playground, walk north from the right and middle swings, going between the two orange swing structures north of the black swings, and you'll trip over it too.
Switchyard Park - at the kids playground, the large black swings at the south end are really squeaky. Can someone go over there with a ladder and a can of WD-40 or other lubricant and see if that helps quiet the swings? Thanks.
