This is about Sherwood Oaks park-(the link from the webpage for the park itself to Ureport is not working) not Elliston Drive-
The growth in the field in this park is getting REALLY tall and woody-is anyone going to come out with a bush hog and cut it all down? You have mowed more in the Goat Farm Park, and you have also cleared out all that brush in the woods between the two parks, so I hope that you plan on mowing in the Sherwood Oaks field soon-
Thank you-
Kim

We have seen a few people frequently using the tennis court at Sherwood Oaks Park for soccer. They would practice shooting soccer ball against the tennis wall and court fences. Those structures are damaged because they are not designed to withhold such strong impact. Please consider putting a sign to warn against similar activities. Thank you!

I'm an Adopt-a-Trail volunteer and was taking care of Southeast Park this morning and noticed a lot of ground bees (they looked like honeybees) just east of the park pavilion at Southeast Park (just north of the playground). The bees were swarming around a patch of wild garlic. I'll include this on my volunteer report but figured it warrants a uReport due to the proximity of the hive to the pavilion with the picnic table.

Southeast Park the water at the two fountain has not been turned on. Is there a reason or just an oversight? The dog is really disappointed.

The trail is totally covered from side to side by a slurry of mud and gravel. This is the Clear Creek Trail. I would give the location as on the Clear Creek Trail between Rockport and That Road, about where Fullerton / Gordon Pike would hit the Clear Creek Trail if it connected through. There is a gravel path that goes from the trail back up the hill towards the east, as a reference point. It is half a mile from Rockport Road on the trail towards That Road.

There is almost no shade at all in the Switchyard playground. I understand, of course, that nothing can be done in terms of tree cover until the recently-planted ones grow and create more shade, but why in the world do the metal slats above the wooden benches along the west side of the playground not have some kind of canopy over them? They don't block sun or rain and seem to be completely useless. We love Switchyard but it's really inconvenient to not have any shade or rain protection over at least part of the park. I can't imagine it would be very expensive to install some kind of canvas cover above the slats, at the very least.
