Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: I would like to suggest adding more no-mow areas to Bryan Park, specifically around all trees (to protect them), along the North boundary (several feet in depth) and extending the no-mow area along the creek tributary which runs North West-South East and feeds into the main creek. It would be very helpful to all wildlife, particularly birds and insects. I'd be happy to talk to someone about this idea. Also reduce the number of times the park is mowed (maybe it could just be every other week?) and stop using leaf blowers!

Thanks for the suggestion. We've taken a lot of areas around Bryan Park out of the mowing rotation over the years, especially focusing on repairing, restoring, and protecting the riparian corridor of Sheridan Creek through the middle of the park. We've also worked to get battery equipment in our parks to minimize the impacts of gas-powered mowers and blowers. We continue to strategically look at Parks as we map them to respond to climate change impacts and protect native habitat... this feedback will be passed on to Joanna Sparks, our Urban Greenspace Manager.
