We had a softball reservation at RCA Park and the grass hasn't been mowed it looks like in several weeks and week maybe even months and we can't play.

Hello, I'm a frequent user of Bryan Park, and I'm concerned about the city truck that is being driven across the park from Henderson and Davis to the public restrooms every evening around 9 pm. so that the driver can lock the restrooms for the night. The truck travels diagonally across the playing fields, even if there are people playing or sitting on the fields, drives along the footpath and pulls right up to the restroom doors. I'm concerned because the truck is being driven fairly quickly in an area where there are children walking and playing (last night a mother was leaving the restroom with her toddler when the truck pulled up to the doors), and also because the grass appears to be showing wear and tear from all of the vehicular traffic. The driver does not appear to require any equipment heavier than a key to lock the restrooms, so I don't understand why he feels the need to drive right up to the doors. This truck traffic affects so many people's quiet enjoyment of the park. I wonder if the employee could be asked to park his truck in the lot at Henderson and Allen and walk the few feet to the restrooms, instead of driving through the park? Thank you!
Good Morning, When playing near the baseball diamond behind the Bryan Park pool, we noticed these rods sticking out of the concrete behind the snackbar area of the pool. It would be nice if they could be covered in some way, or at least bolted so there is not as big of a risk for impalement or other serious injury if someone tripped, especially for young children. We appreciate your attention to this. thank you, Marlise Blackburn 317-828-7736
Hello, There is currently a safety issue at Sherwood Oaks Park. Below the big blue slide on the playground where the mulch is worn away, there is a large chunk of concrete protruding that several children have been getting injured on. They get to the bottom of the slide and instead of landing in mulch, they're getting scraped up on the concrete chunk. There's also an additional large concrete chunk about 10 feet east of the bottom of the blue slide where mulch should be covering it. An additional note, the swing seats on the swing set there are exceedingly high. High enough that even an adult must jump up to get onto the swing. Children are not able to stop themselves when done swinging because they are set so high. Isn't there an OSHA standard for how what height the swings should be set at? Thanks, Kevin Kevin R.

There is a dangerous section of the blue slide at the Lower Cascades playground. Linda Ebright was going down the slide with her 3 year old daughter when she went around the bend in the slide she says she hit her head and might have a concussion. She talked to a coworker who experienced the same thing at an earlier date. She would like to be contacted about this issue.
Broken teeter totter handle. Could pinch.
Someone has removed all the screws from the bench that is in southern corner of park. It is now a hazard because you can get a finger caught in between.
I have a question regarding the lights on the tennis courts at Wilson and Bryan Parks. I recently went over to Wilson Park and noticed that the lights which use to come on at 7:30 PM are no longer being turned on. The same is true at Bryan Park. Is this a permanent change until spring? I noticed at Wilson Park that although the tennis court lights were turned off the parking lights still were on. Is there any chance that the lights on the tennis courts, even if just on one court, could be left on for a little longer say into the end of November, in the evenings? Though cold the weather has not reached a point where it is unreasonable to play outside in the evenings. I realize the answer is probably no, especially in light of budgeting concerns, but I just felt it was worth asking. Thanks Sincerely, Chris Sontag
The new bridge over the creek is extremely slippery in the morning, when wet. I was not prepared and I fell. A little black and blue, but nothing broken. I suggest putting those granular non-skid surfaces on the steps particularly, and perhaps a warning sign.
