Can't reply by email. So: will the table be secured---bolted to the concrete pad, maybe---when it is returned?

Bryan Park: please fill in these wo holes near the N end of the stream that feeds Sheridan Creek. A good landmark for finding them is that bald cypress in the background (further in background are the tennis courts). I have found holes in the Park over the years, sometimes by tripping and falling. I have sometimes stuck deadfall in a hole hoping that a Park mower might see it and take action. Now I am grateful that I can use uReport . Thanks.
We would like to perform some “course maintenance “ on the disc golf course at Crestmont. Specifically, there is a large branch that is obstructing hole 13s tee pad. We would like to have it cut down or have permission for us to cut it down. There are also some smaller shrubs that obstruct the path to 14s basket.
There is a large tree branch that is blocking and hanging over the half-mile path at Olcott Park.
How would I go about reserving a shelter house at RCA community park?
Some of these swings in Bryan Park has been squealing for years. Need oiling.
All summer long every day except Sunday starting at 7:30 Bryan Park employees used leafblowers on the playgrounds for 15 or more minutes. These are a source of air and noise pollution. What was being cleaned up? Dust? Leaves? For those, push room are faster, more effective, and non-polluting. Please consider not using gas-powered blowers in city parks, at least in summer.
Hello. I am a resident near Olcott Park and have noticed what look like lighting fixtures being installed along the trail from Sherwood Oaks Park to Olcott Park. I'd like to make a case against this, as it is extremely damaging to the small ecosystem the forest has. These lights will cause light pollution in an otherwise rather remote area considering its proximity to the city and will disturb bat populations as well as many other night-active animals that require a dark environment to thrive. The trail and woods are a wonderful place to look at the stars at night and go birdwatching, but these lights will disturb these activities. Many ecological programs/studies that take place will also be impacted: there is an event for owl watching that happens in the summer, and the presence of lights in the otherwise dark forest will disrupt this. People tend to sleep and stay in when it is dark in the first place, the lights are not worth the effort to put them in and the damage they will cause. I personally enjoy going for walks in the dark on summer evenings and watching the lightning bugs, an activity I and many other children enjoyed growing up near the park. Please consider this appeal; I am willing to speak in person if needed. Thank you.
There are two parks at Bryan Park. I’m specifically talking about the one that is designated for younger kids. Today, my son and I were playing with other kids his age (2.5) when a large group of kids (average age: 8) showed up with two caregivers. The older kids were pushing and shoving on the play structure, creating a danger for younger kids. My question is: is there an age limit imposed for use of that particular playground? My understanding is that it is for kids 5 and under. What can I do to help impose this? It’s definitely a safety issue for smaller children when the older children begin climbing up the slides (yes, inside, and on the outside) and crowding and pushing on the platforms.
