Hello- I would like to ask if there is any way more playgrounds around town could be fenced. Our 4 year old son is autistic, and likes to run. We seem to be limited to Bryan park tot lot and Broadview playground. There are lots of families of developmentally disabled and autistic children in this community, and these children- and their siblings- would benefit greatly from the opportunity to utilize more facilities. The big playground at Karst, the playground at Bryan park nearest the fenced toddler playground, and Olcott park would be wonderful additions to our family and others.

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."

I was looking at a map of Cascades (Lower) today, as I am attending a gathering at Sycamore tomorrow. I also saw, to my extreme dismay, that the south entrance to the lower park is all pedestrian and bicycle! I am supposed to be attending a reserved gathering in Waterfall Shelter in week and a half. My right side is about 80% paralyzed. I can neither walk that far nor use a wheelchair to get there. I HOPE that this doing-away with the road is not permanent. This city is increasingly putting lots of money behind bike trails while doing darned near NOTHING for the physically disabled. I remind you that we too are taxpayers, as I have been here for nearly 50 years. I should be able to attend my paying group's function at Waterfall, as I have in years past.
