The new dog park at Switchyard is very pretty, but it lacks basic amenities to make it really useable. At the Ferguson park there is access to water in the park (not outside the gates) and it’s a spigot that can be used to fill a bowl. The setup at Switchyard makes it basically impossible to spend more than a few minutes in hot weather. Also, it looks like there was a plan to have a dog rinse area like at Ferguson, but it’s just an empty vestibule. Could you at least run a hose as a temporary measure? Especially if there are going to be permanent mud puddles right by the entrance. There’s also nowhere shaded/sheltered in the park. The pergola over the outer seating area looks cute but isn’t very practical. I’ve hiked the quarter mile with my dog on weekend days only to find no one there and had to leave basically immediately because the park is essentially unusable on a hot sunny day. Everyone is at the old park on those days.
Tree down crossing the B-line trail a few yards northwest of Moravec Way. Passable on foot but not on wheels.
Tree down completely blocking B-Line Trail just northwest of where it crosses Moravec Way. I ran this route yesterday afternoon after the storm and the trail was clear at that time, so it happened sometime between yesterday late afternoon and this morning.
The larger shelter at Building Trades Park looks like it will fall down any minute. I went there for a neighborhood meeting a couple weeks ago and am no longer comfortable scheduling our own neighborhood meetings in the park because it looks so unsafe
Saw this bicycle in the creek at Switchyard Park. Looks like with a little clean-up it could still be used.
Graffiti on the story walk panels
Sycamore tree down on the the East Fork of the Jackson Cree trail.
I visited Griffey lake today and utilized the kayak rental and one of the staff members was very rude and unwelcoming. I usually wouldn’t write feedback about something but he created a bad experience for no reason.
Hi- Follow up on ticket 176107 that was resolved stating that I incorrectly used the term “irrigation.” Wanted to resubmit to say that the issue is a clogged drain causing a pretty deep puddle in the skate park when it rains. Was worried about all the kids, my own included, skating through it and not being able to see any obstructions in the water. Resubmitting as something other than “suggestion” and “irrigation” since it was pointed out that I don’t understand the definitions of those terms in the ticket response from before.
