Neighbors urge parks improvements, goat‑head removal and a pedestrian path to schools

Park improvements and removal of invasive goat‑head weeds were recurring requests at the hearing. Resident Steven Sherwood recommended durable picnic pads and a low ramp to allow maintenance crews access, and suggested blacktopping the Skyline access road; he also urged early removal of goat‑head seeds before they go to seed.

"If grass catches fire, it will spread to the trees," Sherwood said while urging careful vegetation management; Geovona Thompson called for revitalizing existing park features and installing drought‑tolerant landscaping and a maintenance plan. Council members asked staff to add parks, goat‑head abatement and the pedestrian path between lower and upper Huachuca City to the project list.
