Tuesday morning around 8 a parks employee was blowing dust around near the basketball courts and nearby parking lot. A leaf blower in both hands. Why? Air and noise pollution, carbon footprint. Years ago every morning except Sunday at 7:30 the playground on the Henderson side had dust blown around. Worse then because those blowers had more powerful motors. But why? What is accomplished? I mean this as a serious question. When I see employees spraying a picnic shelter with liquid from a tank, i figure that is disinfectant or pesticides for an area where people eat, drop food, attract pests. I get it. But the dust blowing, I just dont Thanks

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.

Rather than blowing the dust around this and other Bryan Park playground, perhaps park employees could weed the mulch. I think it looks OK, but a better use of employee time, I think. Or take care of the weeds on the various spruce trees along the paths. That latter item may already be on a regular maintenance calendar, but that too would be more useful than dust blowing.

I find it ridiculous that we can't watch a news channel on the treadmills. I have basic tv at home and look forward to seeing other information. Is there a compromise?

People have been camping in the shelter houses at 9th St. Park for several weeks, if not months. I've been reluctant to officially report it but over the last week it's become a bit more permanent. And also a bit unruly.

The path surrounding the parking lot of the Winslow Sports Complex needs to be repaved. It is worn to the nub, cracked and uneven. It is a hazard to elderly and infirm people (of whom I am one). I walk there every day, several times a day. There are many of us who do this. During baseball games, there are also many parents and grandparents who have to walk this path. You are just waiting for a lawsuit if this goes unrepaired. Thank you. Janet Greenblatt

Hello I am a parent of an IU Ice hockey player. I was wondering if I could get information about what it would take to open the Frank Southern Arena on September 1st vs. October 1st. The players are under a lot of pressure to balance school and ice hockey. During the first weeks of the season, they lose so much time traveling to other rinks to practice. It's tiring and dangerous given their exhaustion. Is there a budget that you would need to achieve in order to afford the opening 30 days earlier than current budget allows. Thank you. Catherine Grimes
