Attention to Southeast Park and facilities. We have lived in this neighborhood for close to 20 years and the upkeep of the playground is not being handled like in the past. There are weeds and thistle all over the playground area and no new mulch added. It is an eye sore and not a great environment for the kids to play. If someone could get a handle on the weeds and clean it up a bit it would be nice. We also play tennis and I have reported before that there needs to be a seasonal blow around the edges of the inside of the courts. The pine tree droppings are such a mess and attach to the balls and an annoyance to play. The droppings with acidic state also start "eating" away at the court. If someone could address and blow the courts it would be appreciated.

Bicyclists in parks and on trails do not notify walkers that they are coming up behind them. Other countries have bells on the bikes which the bikers use to alert someone that they are coming up behind. It is startling to have someone fly by, esp when walking a dog. Dogs could dart out in the path of the bike if the walker is not aware the biker is behind them. The City needs signage in every park and on every trail to remind bikers that they need to signal their approach when coming up behind a walker, esp one with a dog/dogs.

Visited Bryan Park pool this weekend for first time with my 5 year old. We arrived Sunday afternoon, saw people in the pool, and joined them. Within minutes we had a teenage lifeguard yelling from across the pool to get out in our general direction. I was a little confused, and uncertain who exactly he was yelling out. This continued as he runs around the pool to yell specifically at me. I explained to him that I was unsure why exactly we were being told to get out of the pool when there were other patrons using it. He told us it was adult swim time and children were not allowed in the pool. After reflection on this I am a little frustrated. There was no signage indicating that children were not allowed in the pool at the time we arrived, and I feel like his response to the situation was completely unnecessary. I would suggest that signs be posted of some sort to indicate when children are not allowed in the pool at the very least. If this is supposed to be some known unwritten rule, I arrived not knowing it and that was not fair. Thanks for your consideration.
