Mayfield Park — Attraction in San Juan

Review of Mayfield Park - Playground Area

Mayfield Park, once a decent spot for kids to play and families to relax, is unfortunately showing clear signs of neglect and safety hazards. After visiting recently, I was disappointed to see several issues that need immediate attention.

The playground area has multiple hazards, including exposed black landscaping fabric and displaced wood chips that reveal the rocky foundation beneath. This creates serious tripping risks for children and adults alike. The slides and climbing structures are visibly dated, and the entire playground would benefit from modern equipment and a complete overhaul to better utilize the available space.

The walking path has been overtaken by vegetation, making it difficult to navigate comfortably. Additionally, the sidewalks surrounding the park have noticeable gaps where concrete meets the mulch-filled areas, presenting another tripping hazard.

Trash is scattered around the park, likely from an animal tipping over a garbage can. This gives the area an unkempt and poorly maintained appearance.

Mayfield Park has potential, but without proper maintenance, it’s becoming less of a family-friendly environment and more of a safety concern. With updates to the equipment, improved landscaping, and consistent upkeep, this park could be restored to a great community space.

I’ve included several photos that highlight these issues, so others can make their own assessment. Hopefully, the city or park authorities will take action soon to address...
