Followup on 214366 Your conclusion: "Thank you for your report. Parks staff will work to inventory invasive bittersweet at Bryan park, and work to manage as resources permit." Given your limited resources, maybe you could hand this off to MC-IRIS and their "weed wranglers." In general, to stretch resources, look to volunteers. One project that's on hold is the "unofficial path" east of the southeast corner of the basketball court---it's a dangerous disgrace. It was too much for the Eagle Scout, but a small bridge across that area wouldn't be impossible for people with the expertise and equipment. Finding them is the issue.

Hi son, just picked up and handed me this ripped off corner of a baggie that looks like drugs that you would smoke. This is not the first time we found needles or drugs at this park. The city should have a place where you can just put in needles and drugs submissions. I can only imagine what would happen if my son would’ve picked us up and eaten the contents of the baggie. Luckily, I was standing right next to him when he picked it up.

About 0.10 miles south of the parking lot at the Clear Creek Trailhead off of Tapp Rd, there is a dirt foot path the goes west into the woods. I was walking the paved trail south from the parking lot and noticed a blue tarp in the woods. I confirmed that the tarp was close to or on the dirt foot path, but I didn't investigate further by going into the woods to see if it was a campsite. It's new to the spot because I walk the trail often and have not noticed it in the past.

If you allow the church groups to use the park next year for their get together like on this past Sunday 9/27, could you PLEASE make it a condition of their park usage that they turn down their music to a reasonable level? I live in McDoel Gardens and have heard music from many performances at my home but nothing as loud as what I heard yesterday. I tried to go to the dog park with my dog and had to leave because the music was so loud. I spoke to many people at the dog parks and the playgrounds who were leaving for the same reason. A friend in the Broadview neighborhood told me the music was so loud at her home, even with all of her doors and window shut that her child could not nap . I only ask that the people responsible for this performance show some consideration and respect for the surrounding neighborhoods. Thank you.

Building and Trades Park is a great neighborhood park that receives frequent use by diverse groups and individuals. This park is not a "blight", as others have described. The recent improvements to the park, including the pavilion and accessible trail, are well-utilized and appreciated. As a Prospect Hill resident, I look forward to continued improvements to the park in the near future. I trust that the Parks Department will engage with the various stakeholder groups who regularly utilize this park when considering what additional improvements are needed. One quick suggestion: have a Movies in the Park night here, I'm sure the neighborhood would come out for it. Keep up the good work!

The religious ceremony being held in Switchyard Park is amplified to an unnecessary and extremely unpleasant level. I am unable to avoid listening to the music or the proselytization without turning up amplified sound in my own home to an equally unpleasant level. No parks-sponsored musical musical performances are ever this audible from within my home, and I have no desire to listen to someone advertising their religious beliefs anywhere on my property.

The concert at Switchyard Park tonight is sooooo loud. I can hear everything that is being said and all of the music inside my house with the doors and windows closed. I have never heard a concert at the park be this loud before. It sounds twice as loud as the Granfalloon concerts.
