So glad the "lake" came back at Red Hill Park!!
Yes, since the City has outsourced the ground keepers to an outside vendor I believe the "eyes of observation" has been eliminated. Making the park a more dangerous place to go. I have seem drug deals, I notice police are driving through more frequently, the ground do not look as tailors as before, lots of unsavory people hanging out. It is frightening and I am glad I am walking a dog, such as she is since she if harmless and small but at least may be a deteriorate. Big mistake to save some money. The main park I use and am talking about now is Red Hill. And oh yes, thank you for bringing the pond back.
Really like the new light code options/app on tennis courts and baseball fields. But for league use, it would be helpful to not block leagues on certain nights. For example, Monday nights at Red Hill 90 foot field can only be turned on by Deer canyon LL.
We walk at Red Hill Park every other evening and have always found it to be well occupied, especially the playground, baseball and soccer fields.
Security should be posted at the northwest corner of Red Hill during concerts. They all stay near the bandshell while the kids are at the NW end smoking pot.
Love Heritage Park and Red Hill
I would like to see an outdoor gym. I have seen them in several other cities like Chino Hills and Covina. They are not jus pull up/push up bars. They have machines that are built like outdoor play equipment but they have stair stepper machines, glider/cross country skiing type machines, weight resistant machines and more. Great for fittness out in the fresh air. Would be great outside at central park since there is a Senior Center with an indoor fittness center there and it has easy access to the trail there. Would also like the city to bring back aquatic programs. Do not like having to go outside of my city for my kids to swim. If we aren't going to get a city aquatic center any time soon, it sure would be nice to open up the high school pools for open swim and swim Lessons again now that the construction of the football Stadiums and solar panels are all completed on their campuses.
Rancho Cucamonga's over all look is going down hill. The landscaping is terrible around the neighborhoods and especially at the parks. Vintage park is the closest to me. The grass is gross green belts are being replaced with wood chip. Who's bright idea was wood chips? Rancho is windy. Wood chips are everywhere after the winds. The city increase my taxes for landscape but it's worse then ever. City workers stand around talking for at least an hour daily. I know this because I walk laps daily at Vintage and Ellena Park. Who's accountable? Trash is everywhere, bushes aren't trimmed, and grass has dead patches. When I first moved here in 1999. Their were people working everyday to make our city pretty. People that had to serve community service was picking up trash weekly. Maybe we need to increase community service to make our city beautiful again and hire some people that take pride in their work. and why do we have city workers and Magnilia workers?
Not interested in adding any type of aquatic park. Central Park area left currently vacant would be great if utilized as a fitness style park that resembles Red Hill.
I love the parks in my area (Lion Park, Red Hill Park, and Beryl Park). I visit them multiple times during the week and am very happy with the services you guys provide.
Lighting at night. I understand you have a budget, especially after past election. However I think you should consider reprioritizing general lighting at night. Many of us, especially during later fall and winter are not using the park during daylight hours. The basic trails you should consider keeping lighted or more efficient lighting etc. to allow us to safely use the park. I have used Red Hill and Heritage between times when their are no night time sports and the path lights are now turned off. Or entire light fixture is missing... Nothing like running around and seeing the coyotes, smelling the aroma from pot smokers ....and a few other activities in the shadows of darkness. BTW, several times in past I submitted feedback through general services regarding park issues both on website and voicemail. No return calls, no follow up. Hoping flash votes get more attention. .
In the Grapevine, give suggestions for scenic photography in RC parks, such as the lake at Red Hill Park.
Really like the changes at Red Hill Park!
RE plant the grass in red hill park and refill the duck pond ! The drought crisis was made up nonsense and we've had more rain this year than needed ! The wood chips bring bugs !
Red Hill Park has a lot of Homeless people. They pee in the bathroom sinks. Disgusting! The Alta Loma HS teens hang out there and get high and drink stolen liquor from Stater Bros across the street, frequently! I did mention it to a Stater Bros manager. His comment was "we do the best we can in monitoring our liquor area. It happens at all the stores." Then why keep the liquor next to the exit doors! At least I let him know and got it off of my conscience.
