I've contacted the Parks Department before about my concern that the lights along the trail and connection to the B-line either have no lights or broken lights that don't function. I've watched as Butler Park has had an increase in use from new families in the area and feel this will only increase in the coming years. It is a safety concern that the Northeast area of the park has no lighting. In addition, the Indiana Railroad came through and decimated the trees along the tracks bordering the park. They have never cleaned this up and several of these large trees are leaning against the light poles and hanging over the trail. I wondered when the lights might be fixed/added and when the railroad will be required to clean up their mess? I see proper lighting in other nearby parks properties (building & trades and the B-line) and don't understand why Butler Parks condition is not more of a priority. The park offers a great spot for nearby families and individuals to spend time as well as those visiting to use the gardens or ball-field and as this use increases it would be nice to see it get some attention.

I picnicked in Bryant Park this afternoon and noticed a woman collecting plastics. I approached her and it turns out she a conscientious homeowner who lives in the neighborhood. She apparently petitions consistently to have the parks put in recycling cans. I would like to add my voice to the hers and the many others who are surely requesting such a service. Please install recycling cans in the city parks. Thank you

Hello, I wanted to inform the city about a standing and stagnant water issue in the northeast corner of Bryan Park - next to the tennis courts on the path there is a water fountain and in ground water meter that always has standing water and mosquitoes breeding in it. I've uploaded a picture and this was after 5 or 6 days of no rain. Addressing the issue will help reduce mosquitoes and the chance of illness in the area. Thank you.

I took my 3 year old son to Bryan Park yesterday and a man had a dog with him that was poorly restrained (on a 25 foot cable). My son was running towards the toddler playground when the dog ran after him and knocked him down. The dog was on top of my child for several seconds and while the dog didn't harm my son, it was a very frightening experience for him. I don't want him to be afraid of dogs, and I've been trying to teach him to appreciate animal companionship. I don't know what the rules are for leashes in Bryan Park, but dogs need to be handled better, especially near or around the kids' playgrounds. I didn't get the man's name or information but I took a picture. He was walking on a bright orange tightrope and he had a white dog (young, probably a puppy - this is the one that chased my son) and a black dog.

I was at a cookout at Bryan Park this past week and noticed the orange slide near the shelter on the Woodlawn avenue side isn't very sturdy. The top of the slide where it connects to the rest of the structure only has one bolt and it looks as if it should have 4. A man there commented on how "treacherous" it was and wouldn't let his daughter play on it.
