In the large dog park at Switchyard Park, a plank has fallen off the bench box under the shade structure, leaving a gap large enough for a dog to get inside the bench box. My dog got inside and luckily came out, but if there had been a firework or thunder, it would have been impossible to get her out. Please reattach! Thank you!
Wood chips all over the playground and under the climbing structure
Several coneflowers in the pots near the farmers market looked like they were infected with Asters Yellow. This can spread rapidly and the plants need to be removed.
Unhoused making a bed on top of the picnic tables at Butler Park. Changing clothes in the park when the restrooms are open and they could go in there. Setting up camp in Butler Park
Next to the Bryan Park tennis courts is plot of grass where there used to be 4-6 Callery pear trees. Of course they had to be removed, but i hope there,are plans to replace them. Unfortunately the City also planted them along the B-Line, so i understand it will take a lot of money to replace them all. Thanks!
Does the City have a policy about using tennis courts for pickleball? If not, perhaps you should. I happened to walk past Bryan Park tennis courts this past Saturday. Pickleball players were using one court or maybe two. There was at least one vacant court if any tennis players needed it. I can imagine disputes coming up, which Parks Department would do well to get ahead of. Tennis only. OR Tennis and Pickleball
