Caller reported glass "all over Bryan park". Specific area not specified.
A water fountain in Bryan Park next to the tennis courts is malfunctioning; it has been running continuously for the past few days.
Frequent visitor to Building Trades Park reported many issues while setting up for a Labor Day family picnic. Two homeless men sleeping under the shelter and one sleeping on the ramp. Two homeless men locked themselves into the bathrooms for 30+ minutes, making the bathrooms inaccessible to anyone else. Left the bathrooms a wet mess, threw up on the side of the building. Visitor called police (non-emergency) and left after 35 minutes when police still hadn't shown up -- moved her family picnic to another location.
Constituent called frustrated by the lack of mowing at the dog park -- difficulty with ticks, cleaning up after dogs, finding balls, etc.
Citizen called frustrated that Ferguson Dog Park hasn't yet been mowed this season. Complained about it being a breeding ground for ticks, going to start a petition, etc.
Caller complained that the playground at Country View is in disrepair: grass growing under the equipment, inadequate equipment, etc. I'm not even sure this is city property -- obviously not a Parks & Rec-maintained park. Also complaints about crumbling sidewalks, unpaved parking lots, etc.
Caller reported several people camping out under the shelter at the Building & Trades Park. Suggested an unsafe environment, as one man was "hiding, wearing a heavy parka, with the hood pulled over his eyes." Frustrated as a tax-paying citizen at her perceived lack of safety at a public park.
