Resident urges fence and restroom access at playground near Senior Center; city staff offered follow-up
Summary
A resident told the council that drivers speed near a playground behind the Senior Center and Family Life Center and asked for a fence and restroom facilities; city staff offered to follow up and suggested the police and parks director would meet the resident.
A resident raised safety and amenity concerns about a playground behind the Euless Senior Center and the Euless Family Life Center during the public comment period.
The speaker said drivers travel quickly in the area and that parents with young children are nervous about letting children use the park. The resident requested that the playground be fenced to reduce the risk of children running into the street and asked whether restroom facilities could be added at Trailwood Park (noting that a porta-potty would be helpful).
The mayor noted that staff cannot respond from the dais during public comment but said Police Chief Gary Landers, Assistant Police Chief Brenda (last name not specified), and Parks Director Dwayne Strawn would follow up and speak with the resident about the concerns. The resident thanked council and left.
Why it matters: The request touches on park safety, child pedestrian risk, and basic amenities at neighborhood parks; staff follow-up will determine whether fencing or restroom facilities will be added or included as part of park maintenance or redesign plans.
No formal action was taken during the meeting; staff committed to follow up with the resident off the record.
