Description

I reported this issue last year and the year before so hopefully the 3rd time's a charm.
We are enduring yet another season of errant basketballs from the basketball court that come flying into the playground, clobbering the heads of toddlers and parents. The playground is sunken 4 feet below grade of the court so even basketballs that are rolling along the ground hit the back of people's heads sitting on the benches in the playground. It's ridiculous.
Just one section of fence between the court and playground is all we need. We don't want to fence-in the entire court or playground. We love the openness of the park but there has to be some safety measures taken when you have a basketball court just feet from a playground filled with children. This is such an easy fix.
If we were to put up a fence ourselves to finally fix this issue, I'm sure you will respond and take it down. I don't want it to have to come to that of course. Please Please take care of this. Thank you.
