Parks & Playgrounds |

There is a significant shortage of pickleball courts in the city, which has led to consistently overcrowded conditions at RCA Community Park and Switchyard Park. At the same time, there appears to be an overabundance of tennis courts relative to the number of residents actively participating in pickleball.
When Hopewell Commons opened, there was genuine excitement in the community. Unfortunately, that enthusiasm quickly faded. Players have largely avoided these courts due to poor and, frankly, unusable conditions—particularly the net setup and, more importantly, the playing surface.
The decision to install perforated tile flooring instead of a standard concrete surface has made the courts impractical for regular play. The ball will bounce at erratic angles and if you try to run the shoes willc catch the cracks between the tiles and cause a fall and injury. The surface quality significantly impacts gameplay and safety, to the point where players would rather wait 30–60 minutes for a court elsewhere than use these brand new establishment.
Given the budget allocated for this development, it raises legitimate questions about how funds were spent (please share this), especially considering that the cost and requirements for building a standard, functional pickleball court are well understood. The end result at Hopewell Commons does not align with those expectations, and needs to be replaced by a proper concrete base flooring. |

Trails |
closed |
The gasoline powered Gator vehicle used to maintain our trails leaves in its exhaust invisible and toxic engine exhaust fumes. Cyclists, runners and pedestrians are forced to breathe toxic fumes which float under the canopy often long after the vehicle has passed. This is a public health issue that can be eliminated by the use of electric vehicles. Please consider replacing park and trail service vehicles powered by fossil fuels with the type that do not emit noxious fumes along our lovely system of trails. |

A large vehicle clipped this city tree. The large limb that fell was dragged into the woods. Does the city need to make a clean cut of this branch |

More and more cars keep getting parks at the property. In the grass. No license plates. Abandoned and irresponsible. |

Hundekot |
reviewed |
Da die richtige Unterkategorie leider fehlt: auf der Grünfläche vor dem Audimax lassen einige Hundehalter Kampfhunden, ihre Tiere und alleine oder Maulkorb frei laufen. Als vorbei laufende oder vorbeifahrende Personen (mit Fahrrad) für dies zu Angst vor Situation beziehungsweise auch bereit zu direkten Hundeangriffen langsam vorbeifahrende Radfahrer verfolgen und in den Mantel beißen. Die Hundehalter sind nicht einsichtig; ganz im Gegenteil, es wird aggressiv diskutiert und beschimpft. Nicht auszudenken, was passieren kann, wenn Kinder auf der Freifläche toben oder spielen. EineLeinenpflicht für Hunde wäre eine mögliche Lösung; regelmäßige Kontrollen durch das Ordnungsamt wären vielleicht eine weitere Option. |
