Several rows of lights in the parking lot are out. It is very unsafe after dark especially with small children.

Every time I come to Bryan park to enjoy a quiet walk with my dog there are 2-3 mowers zipping around in every area of the park. You can’t get away from them! I appreciate that the park is well maintained, but today (10-21-25) there are 3 mowers, and the grass is short and leaves already mulched. There is no need for mowers here right now at all. I know you want to keep workers busy but the park is about us and nature, not big loud machines.

The grey faux-rock climbing feature at the playground has feces smeared on it. I do not know if Parks maintenance has the appropriate tools to wash it off and dispose of it, but if you do it would be great if you could clean it up. (I try to clean up things I see at the park, but this is beyond my abilities!) The attached photo shows the climbing feature, but doesn't really show the feces.

Many tree roots in this area, raising the bike path like speed bumps. Noticed they are growing and are becoming quite a nuisance for wheelchair especially. They are also quite hard to see in certain lighting conditions. There is also another large raised root across from Rev Butler Park path entrance off bike path.

10/12/25 Dear Parks and Recreation Department, We live in the residential neighborhood just across the street from Upper Cascades Skate Park. This is the second time a large group of cars and motorcycles has gathered there. During these gatherings, the motorcycles and vehicles repeatedly drive up and down Kinser Pike well beyond the posted speed limit, creating excessive noise from their engines and tailpipes. This disturbance has been quite disruptive to our household. We have a nine-month-old baby who struggles to sleep even with our windows closed (which we shouldn’t have to close due to this disturbance), and our dog becomes frightened by the loud popping sounds. If this group has obtained a permit for these activities, I respectfully request that Parks and Recreation notify nearby residents in advance so we can prepare accordingly. If they do not have a permit, or if this is a recurring event, I urge the department to reconsider allowing such gatherings out of consideration for those who live in the surrounding area. This is now the second occurrence; after the first, we had hoped it would not happen again. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

The lower parks area near at the old baseball diamonds smells horrible and has been progressively gotten worse. “Hopefully” it’s just sewage or something but given the unhoused use it I worry if someone has passed.
