There are parking spots for people with disabilities in the north Bryan Park parking lot at the end of Stull Avenue, but there is no accessible way for them to get from the parking lot to the park path or the north shelter. I have lived right next to this parking lot for more than 30 years, but it didn't occur to me until today, when I was walking across the wet grass, that there is no path for people with mobility issues. It seems to me this should be rectified -- I never see anyone using those accessible spaces. Perhaps that's why. Thanks!

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.

Three dogs running loose, dragging leashes. There are people laying on the sidewalk on the north side of a fenced in area in the middle of Hopewell Park. They are letting their dogs run around freely in the Astroturf grass area, there was also a loose dog within individuals around the tall green tables, a third dog ran across the street in front of me in between Kroger and The park area. They seem to be associated with the people laying and sitting around. We walk on the B line as I had mentioned before and live at 916 S. Morton St. We walk with our toy poodle. These were very large dogs that look similar to Pitbulls. If one of them would run over They Would chomp her in one bite. There’s also a tan Nissan van that parks there all day long every single day that I had also reported about. It continues to be there every day with people sitting out around it. I’ve also seen the people laying on the sidewalks all day long around the fenced in area on the north side to get in the shade every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday when I go to and from work for the last two weeks.

See case #201657. Two older men sit in the park nearly every day at around 11am smoking cigars right where people want to walk or sit. One of the men is extremely loud and yells vulgarities at people who ask him to stop smoking. Can someone in a position of authority please talk with them and ask them to not smoke anywhere in the park? They usually do it close to the bagel shop, where customers can smell them, but sometimes they sit closer to the bike shop, where everyone walks by on the sidewalk along Kirkwood. Please get them to stop.

A question about pipe draining into Sheridan Creek. What is draining, from where? Over more than a decade I have observed the bank erode away from the pipe and the concrete support move (or is the pipe pulling away from the bank)? As a frequent Park visitor i am curious about what's going on with the pipe. Thanks for any info you can share.

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.

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
