Trees need trimmed for sidewalk head height.

There is a lot of Poison Ivy growing on the sidewalk on Highland Ave at entrance to the Winslow Sports Complex walking path. It would be nice to have that go away.
Five of the trees in the Fergusan Park have been very damaged in the last few days. Can't tell if it was machinery, a chain with a large dog (doubt it for all five trees) or purposeful vandalism. At least one of the trees has deep gashes all around.
Handrail missing on north side of pedestrian bridge on Jackson creek trail bridge. FYI
I am wondering why all the bird houses have been removed from the trail stretching from That Road Trailhead north for about a mile. I have watched these nest boxes being used by native house wrens and tree swallows for years. Thanks!
Two tulip poplars south of the baseball outfield have significant damage to the base of their trunks, possibly from lawn mowers. They look like they could pose a hazard. Can someone look at them?
The limestone bench that is near the tennis courts, and under a very large tree, has been vandalized and pulled apart.
1) Why are white and orange circles sprayed up the slope between the basketball court and the picnic shelter? 2) is it true that ragweed can not be mowed along the east and west sides of the stream that joins Sheridan Creek? A guy pruning bald cypress told me that, but I know that some years it is kept under better control. I don't think mowing closer will endanger the plentiful jewel weed, senna, cup flowers, blue mist flower, etc.
A board is broken on the wooden walkway at Bryan Park that goes from near the bathrooms to the east on the trail that cuts through the middle of the park. The wooden boardwalk/ramp is south of the basketball courts and east of Henderson near the bathrooms in the park. It looks quite dangerous for kids and adults alike.
All but one of the four hoops need new nets.
