NPS needs to recognize this is an urban park that gets very heavy use. The solution isn’t to tell people to stop using it so much. To solve the situation, a major capital investment involving replacing the soil several inches down needs to undertaken and irrigation added. IThis is what they did at the Mall. Will NPS budget for this? I doubt it unless the neighborhood puts enough pressure and publicity that the decision makers notice and realize they can’t keep ignoring the problem. <br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Apr 13, 2023, at 15:03, Jeni Schoemaker <<a href="mailto:jaschoemaker@gmail.com" target="_blank">jaschoemaker@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">There are a few different issues that go into fixing the sprinkler system. The park already has a sprinkler system which I assume needs major repairs and there isn’t the money needed to repair them. The main issue is that there is a water main break under the park that is broken. This is an issue that NPS is well aware of and has not been able to fix. I am under the impression that money and staffing are the two main reasons. <br><br><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Apr 13, 2023, at 2:42 PM, John Hirschmann <<a href="mailto:hirschj154@gmail.com" target="_blank">hirschj154@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">Jeni<div><br></div><div>Is there any serious consideration by NPS to putting in a sprinkler system and resodding.
