Loose bolt on basketball hoop at Switchyard: The south basket at the Switchyard basketball court has a loose screw that keeps needing replaced/tightened. As you face the basket, it's the upper-left bolt. A constituent has been voluntarily tightening it when it gets loose, but he wants it fixed. He said last time the bolt fell out and the washer was lost and had to be backordered/the basket was out of commission for a while. He said he's submitted some complaints before and it is still a problem.

Bryan Park boardwalks are slippery when wet or frosty. I fell and hurt my wrist on the old one, near the rest rooms. I'll be in a cast for at least a month. Please consider treating the boardwalks to reduce the risk. Thanks!

Aggressive homeless people near children's playground. Lets just say some men were exposing themselves. Homeless camp with 4-5 tents. Also they were chopping down trees and burning.

Hello -- Steve Akers here in the Park Ridge neighborhood. I have some items to bring to your attention regarding the Park Ridge park. Most are pretty obvious in terms of regular park maintenance and other points are from our stewardship observation as park users and close by residents. Please read through these points and be sure they are part of the on-going maintenance as we get closer to Spring, thanks. - Mowing: the contractor you have subbed out the mowing to is mowing whether it needs it or not. This has been the case for the past year. The result is literally no grass. Granted the park is heavily used including a nearby daycare visiting 2-3 times per week. With this what we believe is excessive mowing, the leaves are ground to a power and the grass is till. Granted it's quite shady - but please manage the mowing service and please for a pretty aggressive seeding and fertilizing. The park is now just dirt so users have to clean their shoes after use, etc. - Wood chips - regular maintenance. A good dose of chips are needed after a winter season use. - Powerwashing: the equipment is in decent shape and not too dirty but a good power washing of all equipment would be great before the spring/summer season. - Erosion: this issue is most noticeable in two locations. The hill to the south and the hill area beside the bike/ped path. With improved mowing and seeding, these areas may recover. But they do need some soil and minor leveling. - Canopy: it's still an awesome upgrade but does need power washing/cleaning, or possible replacement. We look forward to the park transitioning from winter to spring. The grill will hopefully be unsecured (the homeless have moved on) and the water fountain will be turned back on. I am happy to meet you or any staff at the site to discuss my items. One additional item: the Park Ambassador program does not include our park. I made an inquiry when the program began and was told the Park Ridge park was not part of the program. Would you reconsider? I know of neighbors who are willing to be named the Park Ambassador. Thanks!

There are multiple overhead lights at the Bryan Park tennis courts near the intersection of Woodlawn and Maxwell. Some of the lights shine on the courts while some of the lights shine on the street and sidewalk. The lights aligned to shine on the street and sidewalk are all out. As a result, it is very dark on this section of Woodlawn.

We were walking around the Winslow Sports Complex tonight (2/27/23) on then paved trail and there are one or two trees down, one of which is blocking the path. I'm sure it will be seen and reported in the morning as well. This is on the southern-most leg of then path where there is a row of what may be fruit trees.
