Mary go round needs greased or repaired. It is difficult, even for adults, to push. The children couldn’t use by themselves.

The carousel in the playground has become VERY hard to push. Maybe something is stuck underneath? Can someone please check it out? Thanks!
An employee from hfi mechanical group filmed the children playing at the splash pad. If it’s for the city’s use I understand but if not I think it needs to be looked into.
The standing water around the Sycamore tree. This water is a swamp area. It is dirty and disgusting. It is very hard to keep dogs out of it because it is a big area. It needs to be cleaned up. Maybe put a more stronger fence around the area for now. Please do something about this standing water ASAP. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR OUR DOGS!! Such a beautiful park, with an unsafe standing water!!
Used and open syringes are being thrown every now and then at Bline Trail/ Switchyard park. Did we pay for this project so that drug addicts can shoot up and throw syringes where the kids are playing? Why are the restrooms not open for public use at the switchyard park as well as the BPD? Don't say that you don't have enough resources to hire and take care of those. Address the real problem.
Pickleball nets need adjusted. They need to be 36 in tall at the out of bounds line and 34 in tall in center of net.
You have sent me the same generic message twice now. I guess until some 5 year old gets stuck by one of these dirty needles, there will be no action. Atleast put some dirty needle cans somewhere then. But thanks again for the same message. You truly don't give a shit..thanks again
Parking lot at TLSP What can Parks do to help stop the illegal setting off of fireworks on Parks property. This is a violation of State laws and local ordinances. The police come and just tell them to stop and leave. Leaving trash for parks staff to clean up and let alone the fire danger during drier conditions. The spontaneous truck and sports car meet ups that take place around town and also at Twin Lakes ball field parking lot. There is drinking, underage drinking, and drugs. They also have been doing donuts and burns in the past which harms the pavement z as no striping. Again the police come and tell them to leave. There have been promoter/ organizers for these “street / parking lot takeovers “Maybe some fines and payment for the damages would help. I know parking lot striping is not cheap. Maybe the City could put ing a street / parking lot take over ordinance similar to Indianapolis. Which has escalating fines for participating and spectators, long payment for damages. I know for years the parks has let drink beer after ballgames has as an exception to the no alcohol in certain parks rule. Now some of the teams have been smoking pot a long with drinking beer after ballgames and then driving can not be a good thing to have out on the road. Thanks

In Bryan Park, ragweed along the edge of the stream that feeds Sheridan Creek. Please urge mowers to mow in a little further. It's a few inches tall now, but it can get to be 3 or more feet tall by August. (Sidebar: most of the area between the basketball courts and the picnic shelter would be like that too without mowing)
