There is a unhoused group of people camping in RCA park at this location. They have tents and a stash of bikes. Two dogs tied up that bark at people along the trail and a campfire going as of the time of this report.
The current number of courts (6) is completely inadequate. There are so many players in the mornings and evenings that you have to wait 30 minutes or more to play a single game. The solution is to add permanent pickleball courts where the remaining two tennis courts are now and put up a basic set of rules that encourages players to rotate off the court after they finish their game. Those tennis courts are rarely used for tennis and there are more than enough courts in other locations around the city.
There is a large encampment with tents. They have two guard dogs tied who bark if anyone approaches. They have cleared all vegetation of plants. They have an open fire. It has not rained for some time. This is a dangerous situation and unfair to all who would like to use the space.

There are two dogs in a homeless camp tied up. They are barking at all who want to use the park including me and my leashed dog. This is not safe. I feel afraid to use the park trails. They are at 39.14547Nx86.55090W
Transient habitat and bike in RCA Park, 50-100 yards west of the big quarry rock pile, along the fence, where three trails intersect. There is a bunch of trash, a bike, and maybe a shelter. There was screaming and cursing from this area in the park a few days ago.
