The tops of the swings chains were all assembled with bolts that are too small, which prevents the nuts from fully attaching. I discovered this by finding one of the nuts on the ground, so I looked up at the connection point and the bolt had no nut and was unsecured. I would highly recommend reattaching the swings at the top with longer bolts and lock nuts.
In order to prevent injury, I have fully disconnected this side of the swing and left all hardware attached.
Thanks!

Once again, we were woken up in the middle of the night to screams of men yelling in Bryan Park overnight- this time at 3 am, from someone yelling “help” and then laughter and loud conversation. The same men have been sleeping in the Bryan Park shelters for the past several weeks and many neighbors I’ve spoken to are upset about this. These men are extremely disruptive overnight. Please police the rule that no one is allowed to sleep in the parks overnight. I know the bathrooms are locked too then, so where are they going to the bathroom?

Why am I not able to send a Ureport by cellphone, or is it that it will not go through on a weekend? Today I filed Ureport 188867 on my computer. But yesterday I tried 4 times to send it by cellphone, and it would not go through. And I have had this problem before while trying to file reports while I am in the park.

This is a loosestrife. It is highly invasive and I found it growing between the parking lot and the small stream that flows into Jackson Creek, which means that it can spread downstream along the creek.

Thanks for removing the pools contributing to the drainage issues. Now, can the standing mud pits along the fencelines be infilled? The fine gravel at the end of the parking lot could be a helpful infill to cover the slimy mud, couldn't it?

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.
