Please replace the shade structure top before next week's 100 degrees. It was bad enough not having it last week during 90 degree and full sun. Many families and summer camps rely on this playground and the picnic tables as their home base.
Trash and abandoned personal possessions all around seminary park including sculpture at 2nd and college.
Where did all the shade go? Happy Summer Solstice! We thought Townies needed more sun in their lives so we removed all the shade sails at all the parks and ball fields. Thanks for looking out for us parks!
Violation of the law at Bryan Park Pool
Today, 6/24/2022, I was at the Bryan Park Pool with my baby and a group of mom friends who also have babies. Another mom and I were approached by one of the male lifeguards (named Will) who told us to stop breastfeeding our babies in the children's wading pool area and to do so in the bathroom instead. We quickly responded that we have a legal right to breastfeed wherever we are located and he insisted by asking us to leave the area. This is illegal and violates the following law: Indiana Code 16-35-6-1, a link to which is included here and states the following: "Notwithstanding any other law, a woman may breastfeed her child anywhere the woman has the right to be."

Seminary parks is full of trash, abandoned personal possessions, and stolen shopping carts from local merchants. This area has progressively went downhill in the last months. Needs cleaned up and monitored mutiple times daily. People using park are breaking multiple laws every day. (Drug and alcohol use in public, public nuisance, fighting, littering, stolen property, camping and staying there after hrs, etc)
Around 8:45 this morning, I encountered a strong stench coming from the woods to the west of the B-Line Trail in Switchyard park between lampposts 20 and 21. It smelled like rotting flesh. Could someone please investigate to make sure it isn't a hazard or concern?
The grass and weeds have not been cut for several weeks. The trash has been bagged up but not removed. I picked up trash from the playground. some of it had been there for some time. Please pay more attention to this small neighborhood park!
The drainage issue near the water station is getting swampy in the big dog area. Removal of the plastic pools may help until the standing water can be renediated.
