MSI rent-a-cops are driving their golf carts all over the park, not staying on paths, and creating ruts, ripping up grass, and undoing the drainage remediation. They're causing flooding and icing of the creek path.
I was walking Bryan Park, along Woodlawn on Sunday 2/9/25 (pic is from 3:02PM) and the small security patrol vehicle was parked on the walking path across from Sheridan/Southdowns. It may have been watching the people on the tennis court. As I got closer, but still far away, it started up and drove up the walking path to the end by the tennis courts where it then moved to Woodlawn. I know this vehicle is not much more than a golf cart, however I questioned if it should be driving on the walking path. Sharing in case it is something Parks would like to know about. Thank you.

One of the boards are off of the side railing of the wooden bridge by the playground. North side by the parking lot. The board has nails exposed.
One can see that this lamp on the NE corner of the picnic area on Hopewell Commons has one of its pair of lights out. You might want to have the contractor replace this obviously faulty bulb.
The same group of people is claiming and staying in the gazebo at the Building and Trades park every single day. They are there from open to close, sometimes sleeping on the ground as if it is their personal camp site. Nobody else has a chance to use the shelter because this group is there the entire time the park is available for use. This was a problem last year, and the group referred to the park as their "turf" during an altercation with my neighbors. My house was recently broken into, and it concerns me to know that there are people who can just sit there all day and see exactly when we are coming or going. I don't mind people using the park (because public use is the purpose of a park), but I think it is unreasonable for one group of people to practically live in the park and claim the shelter every day, to the exclusion of other park users. It would be helpful if they could inhabit a different park - or just be somewhere else - on at least some days.
There appears to be drug dealing going on in RCA Park. There is a black vehicle that appears to be involved with at least three undernourished pit bulls in and around the vehicle. If someone is approaching from the walking path the dogs bark and snarl. One appears to be secured by a thin rope. Why is there never a police presence in this area? I almost never see park security down here. It feels like parks and Rec has given up on keeping our parks safe.
There is glass by the lower Bryan park bench. Just wanted to let someone know!
I'm an Adopt-a-Trail volunteer and was taking care of Southeast Park this morning and noticed a lot of ground bees (they looked like honeybees) just east of the park pavilion at Southeast Park (just north of the playground). The bees were swarming around a patch of wild garlic. I'll include this on my volunteer report but figured it warrants a uReport due to the proximity of the hive to the pavilion with the picnic table.
