Swan Quarter Community Park. Beautiful site with excellent venues.
A public gazebo second to none as far as size and venue.
Beautiful venues.
Ditto.
These steps are steep and the treads are somewhat narrow. Pine straw makes treated wood slippery. The branch is a perfect trip hazard for young and old alike. The fiber in this limb is dense and will not break easily. A sure trip hazard indeed.
Ditto.
Overgrowth such as this, especially next to water, is dangerous for small children. Little hands reach into the unknown all the time.
Overgrowth of a very strong fibrous plant can be a trip hazard. In addition, the pine needles would prevent an individuals ability to regain stride.
Very slippery wet or dry.
A handrail has no advantage if an individual is afraid to use it. Overgrowth is a hazard.
Another view of the vine-like branch crossing the top of the stairway. Clearly visible here that a recovery after stumbling would be impossible.
More cause for slippage.
Repeated cause for slippage.
Severe overgrowth on rails makes it useless as a stabilizer..
A clear trip hazard for both children and the elderly.
Snag on rusty nails can lead to further medical issues.
This appears to be low voltage. May even be turned completely off. I did not test for voltage. However, it remains a hazard just the same. Additionally, black widow spiders build nests in dark areas such as this. Prime interest for a child.
Ditto.
Curbing surrounded by debris. And worse, several of the spikes in the curbing are elevated to trip status.
This appears to be an abandoned trash receptacle. It certainly doesn't appear to be in its proper place. Additionally an unsecured drop cord is hanging at just the right level for a child to grab and swing.
Abandoned irrigation lines are all over the property. This line would trip a person stepping down from the concrete.
Abandoned sprinkler heads are above grade and in paths. A trip hazard indeed.
This was a real surprise. A sharp, rusty metal stud set in concrete was near the base of the steps. Enough said!
A tree near one of the turns in the ramp and accessible to children is full of bees. This image is just one side of the tree's bee occupancy.
