The basic framework of the nature trail and the parks is good. Unfortunately, access to the Virgil Gilman Nature trail from the Golfview Park is currently blocked by flooding, a situation that exists about half of the year. Promises that a drainage system to solve the problem have been a failure. The playground area of the Golview Park was recently cleared of a great overgrowth of weeds; however, that area is badly in need of some fill and mulch. The Park District seems to operate on a crisis to crisis basis, with funding improvements where publicity is greatest getting priority attention.
