Followup on 214366 Your conclusion: "Thank you for your report. Parks staff will work to inventory invasive bittersweet at Bryan park, and work to manage as resources permit." Given your limited resources, maybe you could hand this off to MC-IRIS and their "weed wranglers." In general, to stretch resources, look to volunteers. One project that's on hold is the "unofficial path" east of the southeast corner of the basketball court---it's a dangerous disgrace. It was too much for the Eagle Scout, but a small bridge across that area wouldn't be impossible for people with the expertise and equipment. Finding them is the issue.

Hi son, just picked up and handed me this ripped off corner of a baggie that looks like drugs that you would smoke. This is not the first time we found needles or drugs at this park. The city should have a place where you can just put in needles and drugs submissions. I can only imagine what would happen if my son would’ve picked us up and eaten the contents of the baggie. Luckily, I was standing right next to him when he picked it up.

Building and Trades Park is a great neighborhood park that receives frequent use by diverse groups and individuals. This park is not a "blight", as others have described. The recent improvements to the park, including the pavilion and accessible trail, are well-utilized and appreciated. As a Prospect Hill resident, I look forward to continued improvements to the park in the near future. I trust that the Parks Department will engage with the various stakeholder groups who regularly utilize this park when considering what additional improvements are needed. One quick suggestion: have a Movies in the Park night here, I'm sure the neighborhood would come out for it. Keep up the good work!

There have been two deafening concerts at switchyard today. Noise level is far beyond normal. Love our parks but It's nearly 7:00 p.m. and this music is way too loud. Thanks.

There are two chains that are supposed to be connected to seats and then into the ground that are broken off. They just need repaired because some bigger kids are pulling them back and swinging them hard around other kids.

Whatever is happening at Switchyard Park today is WAY too loud for a Sunday afternoon, or anytime, really. I’m on Country Club and can hear it clearly inside my house. Thank you.

It’s clear that Building and Trades park is not a priority as renovations have paused but it would be great if there was more attention paid to it. The playgrounds are routinely flanked by people gambling, smoking, using drugs, and unleashed dogs. MSI Security comes through and does nothing more than scan a QR code. The playgrounds are rarely used by children anymore. Just because Hopewell can’t get its act together doesn’t mean that the park should be left to rot. There are citizens and families in this neighborhood that deserve better instead of waiting for tenants in a. neighborhood that doesn’t exist. How about resurfacing the basketball courts? How about taking notice of the positive ways the park gets used and supporting those, instead of updating a single pavilion that most people are scared to use?

Oriental bittersweet at the place in Bryan Park on the map in my photo file. You will want to remove it, I know.
