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.
I believe this is the same caller as Case #155238. Reported homeless men still living under the shelter house at Building and Trades park. One man started to approach the caller at 11a today as soon as the City parks worker left, but then walked away when a driver pulled up to the park. Caller is very frustrated that she can't eat lunch at a city park without feeling scared or accosted. She's requesting extra police patrols at this location.
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.
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.
Constituent called frustrated by the lack of mowing at the dog park -- difficulty with ticks, cleaning up after dogs, finding balls, etc.
