el dorado park LB Area II hazards

Hello,

General info about Park Layout
https://www.longbeach.gov/park/park-...regional-park/

A few weeks back I had a fall exiting El Dorado Park from Area II onto Wardlow, eastbound. I was only 20 yards from Wardlow and went into the gutter to avoid the tire stops. Somehow there is mud accumulating there, when covered with leaves it was unexpected. I lost steering, fish tailed and struck a pedal on the curb, then got thrown to the right.

Bike took the worst, but is still rideable. I was able to tumble and roll out across the sidewalk onto the grass.
I'm posting since it seems the Landscape contractors are spilling lots of dirt in places that it never gets normally.

The portion of the SGRT in Area II & III is also loaded with sand in too many places, enough to be a hazard.
Starting to think about a special trip with hand tools to do a cleanup, with Roadie concerns in mind.
