2011 PROWAG Section R302.7.2
Vertical surface discontinuities shall be 13 mm (0.5 in) maximum. Vertical surface discontinuities between 6.4 mm (0.25 in) and 13 mm (0.5 in) shall be beveled with a slope not steeper than 50 percent. The bevel shall be applied across the entire vertical surface discontinuity.Advisory R302.7.2 Vertical Surface Discontinuities. The allowance for vertical surface discontinuities is for occasional expansion joints and objects such as utility covers, vault frames, and gratings that cannot be located in another portion of the sidewalk outside the pedestrian access route. However, objects such as utility covers, vault frames, and gratings should not be located on curb ramp runs, blended transitions, turning spaces, or gutter areas within the pedestrian access route. This may not always be possible in alterations, but should be avoided wherever possible. Vertical surface discontinuities between unit pavers should be minimized.
As Built:
There is a 1/2" vertical displacement where the bricks have shifted entering the pavilion area from the east end of the park.
Recommendation:
Remove and re-set brick threshold to level.
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 surface of the pedestrian access route has vertical discontinuities greater than 1/2 inch or between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch that are not beveled.
Vertical surface discontinuities shall be 0.5 inch maximum. Vertical surface discontinuities between 0.25 inch and 0.5 inch shall be beveled with a slope not steeper than 50 percent. The bevel shall be applied across the entire vertical surface discontinuity.

As Built:
The pavilion surface ahs multiple areas with gaps between pads as wide as 1" causing up to 3/4" vertical displacements.
Recommendation:
Remove and re-pave the surface in athe pavilion area.

Additional Finding Photos
BFID: 191816
The accessible path of travel has cross slopes greater than 2%.
Surface cross slopes shall not exceed one unit vertical in 48 units horizontal (2-percent slope). 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.
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 that runs on the east side of the park from the turn into the pavilion south to the top of the turn at the triangular convergence of paths has three pads with excessive cross slope between 3.8% and 4.8%.
Recommendation:
Remove and replace pads to compliance.

Openings in floor or ground surfaces shall not allow passage of a sphere more than 1/2 inch (13 mm) diameter except as allowed in 407.4.3, 409.4.3, 410.4, 810.5.3 and 810.10. Elongated openings shall be placed so that the long dimension is perpendicular to the dominant direction of travel.
As Built:
There is a gap between pads at the entrance to the triangular convergence of paths on the southeast corner of the park that is 1.5" wide and 1/2" deep.
Recommendation:
Remove and replace pad.

The T-shaped or circular turning space has excessive slopes.
Surface slopes greater than 1:48 (2.08%) are not permitted.

Floor or ground surfaces of a turning space shall comply with 302. Changes in level are not permitted.
2010 ADAS Section 304.2 Exception
Slopes not steeper than 1:48 shall be permitted.
As Built:
This turn located at the southeast corner of the park has a slope of 6.7%.
Recommendation:
Remove and replace concrete at this turn to compliance.
