On the Clear Creek Trail just north of the That Road Trailhead, Nestbox 24 is down. This box been used many years in a row for tree swallows who will be returning to the area soon. I would be happy to repair it myself if you would like me to, but I’m hoping it can be up again by the time the birds are looking for their nest spots.
Ferguson dog park— back fence of the south enclosed area (large dog enclosure) dogs are able to get under the fence at the back of the enclosure.
A man and a woman are setting up two tents in Latimer Woods.
There are bare (grassless) spots throughout the park, either carrying over from last year or spots where chopped leaves killed the grass over winter. Please remain leaves as needed and put out grass seed and straw to help prevent the park from becoming a dirt mess and to stave off erosion from around the park structures. Thanks!
Another little electrical box has been kicked over, possibly broken, on one of the street trees. Not sure if this is a parks thing or utilities.
There are broken glass/bottles covering the basketball courts at 9th St park Thanks
A board in the existing boardwalk across the middle of Bryan Park broke recently. I hope that can be fixed, maybe as part of the work on the perimeter path. Thanks. Related: the central asphalt path between Henderson and the restroom building often floods. When that freezes, it becomes hazardous to pedestrians.
A board is broken on the wooden walkway at Bryan Park that goes from near the bathrooms to the east on the trail that cuts through the middle of the park. The wooden boardwalk/ramp is south of the basketball courts and east of Henderson near the bathrooms in the park. It looks quite dangerous for kids and adults alike.
THE ISSUE: On the left, looking west toward the basketball courts in Bryan Park. Over the years attempts have been made to deal with erosion caused by the stream that flows into Sheridan Creek. A SUGGESTION: Erect a lttle bridge for pedestrian like the one illustrated on the right (on Highland between Southdowns and the pedestrian / bicycle link to Weatherstone in Deer Park over a drainage ditch.
The water fountain to the west of the tennis court is running and cannot be stopped.
