We live near heritage park. It used to be a beautiful park. The drought is over but the park grass is as allowed to die. There are several lights that were broken And have never been replaced. Orange cones cover where the lights should be. So sad to see the park look so bad. The "naturalized" areas also look terrible.
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.
I live around the block from Church St Park and have visited it often when my grandkids were younger. Now I pass it often and make sure it continues to look tidy and clean. It is always well taken care of and used frequently by young families for leisure and sports games.
We need a skate park. One with Pools for the kids to go to. Look at montclair skate and upland skate parks
I have been to most of the parks in Rancho Cucamonga over the past 20 years. My kids had sports practice several times a week for years all over the city at many different parks. I walk several times a week at 2 different parks. I have never seen any of the park's grass look as bad as Ellena Park, this has been going on for years. It is all weeds and is half dead most of the time. It needs reseeding and major TLC.
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?
When ever I'm driving by them they look very nice.
Our parks have never looked so bad.
Why is t the Pop Warner field as nice as the other parks? Why can't the city find a way to fund Central Park with all the revenue they get from the electric utility they formed, or from the sales tax from Victoria Gardens? Also, not relatated to this issue but why the the Rancho 210 off ramps look worse than other city's close by off tueb15 that have less money? The Day Creak off ramp is embarrassing. Get off at Day Creak to visit Victoria Gardens but there are weeds everywhere. It's a mess. A resident would get fined if their yard looked like that. Thanks
Shade structure would help immensely. Also, please stop removing all the grass around the city. Wood chips just collects garbage and really makes Rancho look dirty.
Even just driving by a few parks; everything looks clean and maintained. Park workers are going a good job.
Not really any close to where I live and those that I can drive to aren't the type I am looking for. We need to make a park that is enjoyable by all especially seniors. We need to finally get rid of all the wildlife in Central Park area and build the park.
West side parks are sad compared to the east side. I hope in the future there is another effort to increase taxes so both sides will look equal.
Build the park we have paid for 3 times. Central Park. Use our money as designated. Why do we have to look at the weeds and your storage containers.?
