The top of the backstop on the ball field next to the pool looks like a tree branch fell on it. If so, then you have removed the branch and know the backstop needs to be repaired. Or did it just collapse?
The group that takes care of invasive species has really made significant changes to the trail areas north of Meadowood. Before it was choked with honeysuckle and now there are fresh shoots and visibility is incredible. Thank You for improving an already tremendous natural habitat.
Didn't finish about the ailanthus: It's in a residential are BUT I believe that that retention pond belongs to the City and therefore could be removed by the City
Correction for report #205148. The photo I sent did not show the grass strip where the Callery pears were removed.

The spruce trees along the perimeter path need some maintenance---weeds like Spanish needles and even saplings are growing up under and around them. Especially the two on the north side below the tennis courts. (Question: I assume you have maintenance schedules for all the Parks---daily, weekly, seasonal, yearly? If so, I'd suggest adding those spruce to the once a year list.
Follow-up on case #205921 Response: Caden Swanson commented on this case. CBU Eng investigated this on 9/26/2025 and found this to be from the storm system originating from the sloped area near the pool. No action needed. Question: In the photo with thise new case # (the left half of the photo i sent with the original case) there is a access ("manhole") cover much closer to the central path. Is that a cover opening to a storm drain that somehow connects ground water with the white PCP pipe draining in to the Creek? Thanks in advance. Caden Swanson commented on this case.

Congrats on the Bryan Park Arboretum designation. A suggestion: a guide to all the trees, accessible by QR code to Park visitors. (Assuming you don't plan on physical IDs like the ones in IU's Arboretum). Perhaps include the trees along Sheridan Creek between Woodlawn and Highland(?). Would be a great educational resource. Some years you had a tree identification activity (submit IDs, get a certificate), intended for kids, but I enjoyed doing it.
