Basketball Court Area - The accessible route has running slopes greater than 5% and has not been constructed as a ramp (i.e. handrails,edge protection, etc.). Cross slopes are greater than 2% across the width of the walk.
When the slope in the direction of travel of any walk exceeds 1 unit vertical in 20 units horizontal (5-percent slope), it must be constructed as a ramp. Surface cross slopes must not exceed 1 unit vertical in 48 units horizontal (2-percent slope).
Citation:
2010 ADAS Section 403.3
The running slope of walking surfaces shall not be steeper than 1:20. The cross slope of walking surfaces shall not be steeper than 1:48.
As Built:
The route to the basketball court has four pads of concrete with a high running slope measuring between 5.5% and 8.8%. and 1 pad with cross slope of 2.5%.
Recommendation:
Remove and replace concrete to compliance. If necessary, re-route to achieve a compliant running slope.
Barrier Priority:
High (1): Should be completed immediately. (Includes findings that have little or no cost, were in violation of the codes at the time of construction, or pose an imminent safety threat)

The Basketball Court Area - The walkway contains abrupt vertical edges and/or variations over a 1/2 inch.
1/4 inch is the maximum vertical rise. Changes in level between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch must be beveled at 1:2 or less.
Changes in level greater than 1/2 inch must be by way of a ramp.
Citation:
2010 ADAS Section 303.3
Changes in level between 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) high minimum and 1/2 inch (13 mm) high maximum shall be beveled with a slope not steeper than 1:2.
2010 ADAS Section 303.2
Changes in level of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) high maximum shall be permitted to be vertical.
As Built:
On either side of the pad of concrete at the entrance to the basketball court there is vertical displacement of 3/4" and 1".
Recommendation:
Grind to less than 1/2" bevel if not first replaced due to slope.
Barrier Priority:
High (1): Should be completed immediately. (Includes findings that have little or no cost, were in violation of the codes at the time of construction, or pose an imminent safety threat)

Baseball - There is no accessible route to the element.
At least one accessible route shall connect accessible buildings, accessible facilities, accessible elements, and accessible spaces that are on the same site.
Citation:
2015 IBC Section 1104.2
At least one accessible route shall connect accessible buildings, accessible facilities, accessible elements and accessible spaces that are on the same site.
2010 ADAS Section 206.2.2
At least one accessible route shall connect accessible buildings, accessible facilities, accessible elements, and accessible spaces that are on the same site.
As Built:
There is no accessible route to the baseball field.
Recommendation:
Install a route from the path along Montebello to the baseball field (approximately 75 feet in order to achieve a compliant running slope). In addition add level concrete at both dugouts and behind the backstop for seating.
Barrier Priority:
High (1): Should be completed immediately. (Includes findings that have little or no cost, were in violation of the codes at the time of construction, or pose an imminent safety threat)

The exercise station and its path of travel contain multiple issues and are not accessible.
The path of travel exceeds the maximum allowable cross and running slope requirements. It also contains changes in level and/or gaps that exceed the allowable maximum requirements. The path of travel does not meet the minimum width requirements for clearances, turning spaces, and/or passing spaces. The floor or ground surface is not firm, stable, and slip-resistant.
Citation:
2010 ADAS Section 403.1
Walking surfaces that are a part of an accessible route shall comply with 403.
As Built:
There is no accessible route to the outdoor exercise station and the surface of this exercise station is gravel and not firm, stable or slip-resistant.
Recommendation:
Create an accessible route to the station and add accessible surfacing.
Barrier Priority:
Important (2): Should be completed as soon as possible. (Includes findings that would remove barriers to the greatest number of people to your goods and services)

Walking surfaces that are a part of an accessible route shall comply with 403.
As Built:
The surface of this exercise station, located off the path along Saddle Drive, is loose gravel and not slip-resistant. The surface at this station is not level to the adjacent sidewalk resulting in a vertical discontinuity at the entrance between 1/4" and 1".
Recommendation:
Install a compliant surface and eliminate vertical discontinuities.
