Someone has set up what looks like a junk store on the east side of People's Park up against the bike shop wall.
There is a whole lot of bush clover growing around the picnic area beyond the gate at Leonard Springs Nature Park. bush clover is invasive especially in wooded areas and should be removed.
The water fountain at Park Ridge East Park is continuously running.
Bike rack at Park Ridge East playground is damaged and coming loose from the pavement; it looks like a car has run into it.
Gate on tennis courts broken - bottom mount bolt broken and missing mechanism to keep door closed
Lights are out on 153, 77, and 51 along the B-Line
The new bridge over the creek is extremely slippery in the morning, when wet. I was not prepared and I fell. A little black and blue, but nothing broken. I suggest putting those granular non-skid surfaces on the steps particularly, and perhaps a warning sign.
Need to report an ongoing problem with an adult non-neutered Rottweiler coming to the park and being aggressive with other dogs. Owners drive black RangeRover, IN plate WE7460. I have seen this dog a few times now and today informed the couple that non-neutered dogs aren't allowed in the park. They disregarded my comments so I called BPD. The responding officer stated that his girlfriend may have had difficulties with the same animal. Hopefully we can let these people know that their one animal can cause difficulties for many others....
Poop in the dogpark. Several months ago both the supply of bags and the container for used bags were moved from within the dog fields themselves to an area within the double gate entry area. Perhaps this was an attempt at efficency but it has had a sigificanlty adverse affect on the conditions in the park itself with much more poop being left on the ground and more full bags being left scattered around the park. Yesterday I picked up 11 full bags left out in the field and this is not uncommon. Both the bags and the refuse containers need to be returned to their original spots to turn this trend around. This is a great park, let's keep it that way. Thank you, please let me know how you are proceeding. Thanks, Dirk Fraser
