Two wasp nests, up underneath the top of the green poles
Two wasp nests, up underneath the top of the green poles
A large branch fell during the storm this week in the wods to the east of the basketball court. It is projecting into Renwick condo backyard. I picked up the part that fell into the yard and put back into the park.
Near the sidewalk toward the parking lot (where it rounds to drive back around), there is a large hole that is difficult to see. Last evening, I stepped in it and rolled my ankle. I wanted to share so no one else gets hurt. I am happy to help locate it with photos are meeting someone there. I didn't have a chance to take a photo as I could barely walk and wasn't focused on the safety thoughts in the future.
Hi, I was with my daughter at the Southeast Park playground today and noticed an unusual plant near the swings and hobby horses with a tiny tomato-like fruit. My plant app identified it as Carolina horse nettle, which is a member of the nightshade family and is poisonous. I pulled and discarded all the plants I saw in the area with berries, but I am concerned that this plant is present on a playground and wanted to alert you. The berries look a lot like tiny tomatoes or globe eggplant and would appear edible to many. Thanks for your time!
I would like to suggest adding more no-mow areas to Bryan Park, specifically around all trees (to protect them), along the North boundary (several feet in depth) and extending the no-mow area along the creek tributary which runs North West-South East and feeds into the main creek. It would be very helpful to all wildlife, particularly birds and insects. I'd be happy to talk to someone about this idea. Also reduce the number of times the park is mowed (maybe it could just be every other week?) and stop using leaf blowers!
There has been only one tennis net up this spring. Can we please get the 2nd one hung soon as they all the other nets around town are up at this point.

Near the workout equipment on the northwest corner of the Bryan Park there is a hole (see picture). Someone put a metal "donut" over it to warn passersby. Seen Monday morning around 8. Your map location feature is harder to use it used to be.
Switchyard Park is wonderful! Kudos to Parks & Rec. Two suggestions: 1 - Please install umbrella holders (or umbrella holders + umbrellas, but I recognize there could be more of a theft issue)at the wooden 'bleachers' at the pickle ball courts. 2) For both dog parks at Switchyard, erect shaded areas perhaps similar to the Ferguson dog park. Suggest two or three areas per dog enclosure. This could be esp. crucial for helping maintaining dog health during summer months. Also, install water hoses to clean dirt from paws + coat when play is over. Thank you for considering!
Just want to suggest that when the crews are cleaning up the landscaping on Sayre RD in the median, they close the left lanes. They are too close to the road working on the median. Someone is going to get hurt.
