There have been a number of people sleeping in Bryan Park on the Woodlawn side by the shelter. It started with one hanging out in the shelter then has progressed to several in the field next to it. It is disturbing because of families using the shelter could be endangered by what we all know these people leave behind. A neighbor asked me to include his observation that unhoused frequent the shelter next to the baby playground, and the smell of pot is coming into the playground. I don’t know what is different, but the park is not as well mowed as in the past. It was always beautiful. I chalk it up to all of the rain. Just an observation. It is our favorite place in the world and we care about it. We go every day. Thank you for listening

I’m a frequent user of Switchyard park, but I’m very unhappy with the state of the parking lot on Walnut St. I’ve seen city employees out working in the area several times, but it’s still unsightly. The beds are sparse and bare-looking. It appears as though the working crew has mulched around Johnson grass - an invasive grass - and tall fescue. Does the landscaper not know the difference between invasive and ornamental grasses? Not only this, the hills south of the stage area around the playground and dog park are filled with thistles, Johnson grass, and other invasives. Is the city’s flagship park not worth landscaping maintenance? Considering that this is the city’s most beloved, brag-worthy park and it still looks awful, I’m hesitant to visit other parks.

The thistle weeds near the parking area are about 4 feet tall and numerous. The doggie poop bin is full and smells nasty. Could someone come and clear out the weeds?

I have lost my keys in Bryan Park. They have a yellow elastic hand bracelet. Can you contact me if found? I have also lost other keys there. Is there somewhere to go to check what you have?

The integrated playground at Winslow park is directly adjacent to a high voltage solar panel area. This evening, while using the walking path, my husband and I observed 2 VERY young little girls INSIDE the high voltage fence area. They had climbed over the low fence into the solar panel area. I'm sure this is a major liability to parks and rec. My husband and I warned them out of the area and they climbed the fence easily. They looked to be about 6 YO....and as we walked on and looked back they were coming back with a friend. I warned them of the danger and they turned back.

There are some loose bolts on the green bouncy rhino at south east playground. I was going to tighten them but they require a special wrench.

Two issues that do not reflect well on the park: the sign about native plants in a mulched bed that contains mostly weeds. (This is curly dock.) And the starlings that are nesting in the tip of the roof over the picnic tables and leaving droppings. Please do not disturb the barn swallow nest in the back corner. They are neither noisy nor messy.
