Someone smashed a glass bottle in the entrance corral to the large dog park at switchyard. I picked up some of the large pieces but there are a lot of glass shards that could cut paws.
There is no shade or water in the small dog park
The wooden seat in the middle of the large dog park is dangerous due to slats that are not anchored down. Yesterday a dog jumped on one of smaller slats which came off and his paw and leg went into the opening. I have seen other instances where slats come off when jumped on by dogs or sat on by owners.This has been reported in the past. I fear it could become a liability issue.
Despite all of the spraying for teasel, a large patch remains beside the southernmost chimney swift tower.
I found the metal sign for not smoking in the children's play area ripped off and left along Longview Avenue. I brought it up to the play area and put it under the oak tree along the SW edge of the park. There I also found two wood rails that might have been the base for the sign, and a fresh hole.
Large dog park at Switchyard. You guys were so responsive to my recent report, I thought I would send you another one. You have at least 5 broken sprinkler heads that are leaking water. See attached file. I didn't walk the whole park. There may be others between the big hill and sun shade area. Otherwise park is great (once the mud hole is filled in)! Us dog owners love it. Thank you.
Tim, Re: uReport Case #204545. Thanks for the reply. Any update regarding the big mud hole getting filled in, drain added, fenced off, or something? IMHO just fencing it off would be the easiest and cheapest solution. We (me and other regular dog park visitors) were hoping it would get done when the was park closed for 2 days. Apparently that was just to spray Roundup, which for what it's worth, was not well received by the regular dog park visitors. As one person said, "Who cares about weeds in a dog park?". Thanks again for your work. Everyone I have ever met at the park (regular and newbies) all agree it is the best dog park! Thanks Jim
why is the pool not open yet? I read that a leak was detected, but pools always need maintenance. For it not to be open this late into the summer seems incredibly short sighted. You were cleary able to get brian park pool ready. The reality is that the city can make sure the pool in a wealthier neighborhood is ready, while you somehow only just discovered and have to fix a leak in the lower class pool. Either get the pool ready or just say you hate poor people already.
Last February we reached out and requested that Parks clear several downed trees along the hiking trail behind Twin Lakes for our run group route. Parks came out within a couple days and cleared all of the downed trees including one huge one. I don't think I sent anything at the time but just wanted to give everyone a huge thank you for doing that for us - it helped so much. Everyone in our run group really appreciated the responsiveness and efforts from parks staff. Thank you so much!
