Description
There is a spot on the southwest side of the park's walking loop that doesn't drain for DAYS after rain. The entire side along the railroad tracks, actually, seems to have issues with water actually running off the field, but one spot stays impassable -- the concrete is a pool, and the grass on both sides is muddy and wet. Please put some drainage in or, better yet, have the contractor come back and slightly RAISE that portion of the path very slightly!
Also -- after the recent days of heavy rain, the bottom of the 'boat ramp' is completely covered with mud.
Looks like I can only upload one photo, so ask if you want a better description of where the path flooding occurs.
Thanks

Path still floods with not much rain. I realize that this is a floodplain, and I realize that it's been a wet winter -- but I don't understand why, since this is a new park, the contractor isn't being held accountable for this flaw in the design! (Raise it, put drainage under.) The path is, at times, impassable to walkers, unless we are wearing boots. I don't know where the money for this park came from (grants? taxes?) but, if taxpayer money, the contractor should fix this!
Canoe launch seems to still fill with mud, as well. I don't personally use it, but I'm not sure why boaters aren't complaining.

Though I haven't checked on the boat ramp yet, THANK YOU to the Parks Department for fixing (we think) the puddle on the walking path. Though we haven't had significant rain for a while, it seems - at least - better. There are issues on the NEW path (across the bridge), but we'll hold off on a new report for that until we get real rain.
Thanks again.
