Karst farm park - one of the baby swings has somehow been adjusted and is now wonky. I can't use the other this morning due to fresh bird poop. Thank you for starting to address the damaged swingset.
At 8:30 AM Thursday a group of "campers" were packing up, after a nights sleep perhaps, at the large shelter located towards the back of RCA park.
I went to the RCA Park yesterday looking for the pickleball courts that I saw were located here when I searched on line. When I saw this sign I was confused. I didn't see any sign for pickleball so I thought I had the wrong place. I was about ready to leave when I finally noticed the pickleball courts beside the tennis courts. Why not put up a sign up for the pickleball courts to avoid confusion for others. Thank you
Broken memorial tree marker. I don't know what your policy is about these, but it seems sad for it to be in such bad shape.
Swing set Karst has significant damage. It's also not anchored. The legs on this end were shifting as I used it.
Follow up on case #168883 about trees and vines growing up around the Norway spruce on the east side of the park between the tennis courts and the Woodlawn Shelter. I got an email saying that the issue had been resolved. It has not, unless that means it has been reported to the groundskeepers for clean up in the fall. Please clarify. Thanks!
Case #168067 should closed now. The grounds crew has been diligent in mowing. The photo above was taken this morning. Last year at this time that bald cypress was surrounded by ragweed several feet high.
Dead squirrel on the uphill side of the kids playground at BUtler park. Sorry I was too squeamish to pick it up myself.
The screenshot shows something I posted in Facebook. I am suggesting that the City "re-wild" this stretch of Bryan Park where the underground spring bubbles up to the surface. Maybe just on a trial basis, stop mowing? As I recall something like that was down with "feeder" stream. Another model would be the area on IU campus near the Jordan garage and School of Ed. Also, a BIG thank you for not using leaf-blowers to sweep the playgrounds any more.
Thank you for putting down straw and grass seed in Park Ridge Park as well as putting out more playground fill!
