Huge cracks in the flooring. Saw a couple kids eat it pretty bad trying to run around
Sidewalks are unwalkable due to snow from 2 weeks ago.
Curious: why was this Bryan Park bluebird box moved from the east side to the west side of the big Norway spruce between the tennis courts and the Woodlawn picnic shelter? Thanks!
I took my 3 year old son to Bryan Park yesterday and a man had a dog with him that was poorly restrained (on a 25 foot cable). My son was running towards the toddler playground when the dog ran after him and knocked him down. The dog was on top of my child for several seconds and while the dog didn't harm my son, it was a very frightening experience for him. I don't want him to be afraid of dogs, and I've been trying to teach him to appreciate animal companionship. I don't know what the rules are for leashes in Bryan Park, but dogs need to be handled better, especially near or around the kids' playgrounds. I didn't get the man's name or information but I took a picture. He was walking on a bright orange tightrope and he had a white dog (young, probably a puppy - this is the one that chased my son) and a black dog.
Gate at the baby playground is broken
Wilburt was upset that our staff was unable to get a volleyball net and ball for them this morning. The staff membe's key would not work.
Ms. Hessman called Chris Truelock to offer free paint and other materials for the BBCC. When Chris went to Lowe's to pick upthe goods - Gayla said she called the BBCC because her two sons had gone there for various programs and had a great time. She said she found their experiences very positive.
Banneker Center: Ms. McKibben attended a lecture about gangs and was upset to find out they could exist in Blmtn. She contacted the probation dept and the Police Dept who told her the areas of greatest gang activity was BBCC, Kirkwood and the Mall. She withdrew both her children the Teen X-Treme Camp and wanted to know why we had not informed her of the risk. She questioned whether P&R was "burying their heads in the sand" about gang issues.
The fenced in playground at Bryan Park, the one for smaller children, has some significant gaps in the rubber mats under the play equipment. One was large enough that my toddler was constantly getting his foot stuck and tripping. Can this please be looked at and corrected? Thanks!!
