Drug use and sleeping in park playground.
Splash pads - I think splash pads are a wonderful summer fun activity. I look forward to taking my grandkids to the new switchyard park this summer. However I would love to see more of these around town especially in parks in the poorer parts of town. Like the Reverend Butler Park, Highland village Park, Crestmont Park, Third Street Park. Are there plans to add more splash pads in our parks?
People are driving through the park full of children.
I submitted this issue already as a sanitation issue, but I was told that it is P&R's responsibility. So hopefully it will get routed to the right person this time. There is a drainage channel at the edge of Butler Park near 10th and Fairview that is clogged with stones and sediment from recent flooding events. It needs to be dug out to allow water to drain and avoid breeding mosquitoes. Location is halfway between Fairview and the path connecting Butler Park to the B line.
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!
Someone has scattered small, clear gelatinous balls on the ground on the rubber surface near Ford Street by the green curly slides. They may be completely benign—perhaps some type of Halloween candy? But they are unfamiliar to me and, unfortunately, very appealing to my 20 month old grandson. I tried to pick them up to throw them away, but there were too many, and they were spread over a large area. They are soft and squash when walked on.
A branch fell off of a tree onto the fence and basketball court in Broadview Park. Thank you so much!
Ferguson dog park— back fence of the south enclosed area (large dog enclosure) dogs are able to get under the fence at the back of the enclosure.
Overgrown weeds and grass around the playground
Suspicious person has been parking in the Building Trades Park parking lot for months and seems to sit in his truck for hours almost every afternoon. As I was riding my bike by the parking lot, he drove out of the parking lot and followed me on Howe St heading east until I got on the b-line.
