Beginning this Spring 2024 there have been motorcycles using the park as a low key motocross for at least two late teens boys. This began early April. I approached them after a couple of weeks of the noise from their intermittent use, stating that I did not think the park was an appropriate area to be riding. they countered, saying they had just that day had a conversation with a police officer, called out in response to a complaint, who told them they could ride only in the park and not on the street. these kids do run their bikes on 16th, N Hancock , and 15th steets. They have been in the park 3 to 4 days each week. I arrived home tonight about 10:05 and there were headlights and engine noise running in the park. This dos not sit well with me. I contribute time to clearing the park of invasive species so everyone can have better, larger access to the park, and an agent of the city is suggesting it is allowable to have motor vehicles mix with pedestrians freely. The noise is considerable at times in what is essentially my front yard
The playground bathrooms are both locked, this is the third time I’ve visited this playground with the restrooms unavailable. Really a bummer for the kiddos to stop playing because we have to leave to find a bathroom

Today, May 18th, 2024, my daughter was driving to BHSN around 9 AM, and a golf ball hit the windshield. The windshield had a little scratch, and my daughter was really frightened. This situation could be really dangerous: my daughter was inside a car, but what about a person on a motorcycle? This is really dangerous!
Old tire in the creek area of switcyard park. Possibly washed down from elsewhere with all the rain we've been having this week. See marked area on picture of map attached for area. It's north of the splashpad, south of the skate park, in the stream bed between he east & west bridges on the B-Line
