Sundance Park Sprinklers Not Working Since 2012

I Have Been Part Of The "Adopt-A-Park" Program For Sundance Park Since 1988

It Is My Duty To Report Broken City Sprinklers
 
 New Youtube 35 second movie showing lots of bindweed and thistle, with no bluegrass taking over Sundance Park, as per our City Admin, Malcolm Fleming.

Here are various pics that I took throughout Sundance Park showing that the sprinkler heads do not pop up high enough to water the park.
The problem is throughout the entire park from W. Elm St. to Hoover Street.
I used a 12 inch ruler to measure the depth of how far down in the ground the sprinkler heads are buried.


Here are 3 youtube links for a movies in various areas throughout Sundance Park, where you can hear the grass crunch when walked upon.
Copy and paste the link into the URL space.

E-Mail From Me To Chris And Dennis In The Park And Rec Department About Sundance Park Not Being Trimmed And Edged For 2 Years By The Vendor That Was Hired By The City Of Louisville Park And Rec Department.



I cut the grass around the sunken sprinkler head.  All the sprinkler heads in Sundance Park should look like this.

Shows how the grass around the sprinkler heads after being cut.  A gas trimmer can trim this grass easily.  I used hand clippers.

Shows why sprinkler heads cannot pop up 4 - 6 inches to water, as the grass length prevents that from mathematically happening.

One can see the round green spots amid the non watered grass.

The area near Hoover.  The buffalo grass is dormant.
