Constituent called frustrated by the lack of mowing at the dog park -- difficulty with ticks, cleaning up after dogs, finding balls, etc.
The park ridge east baseball field is in need of repair. Request the infield be groomed and holes filled in. Water pools at the home plate. The backstop fence also needs to be secured so that balls cannot roll under it and into the street.
Water fountain isn’t on at Park Ridge East Park
The water fountain at Park Ridge East Park is continuously running.
Someone has set up what looks like a junk store on the east side of People's Park up against the bike shop wall.
Norway Spruce near Bryan Park tennis court has another tree growing under it, and some other saplings and weeds. Please suggest to Parks & Rec to have an employee uproot that other tree and weed around the spruce. Thanks!
Bryan Park, north side of Sheridan Creek not far from the basketball courts. Area has been gradually eroding and needs remediation. Top photo faxes east. Lower left looks south; lower right looks north.
The screenshot shows something I posted in Facebook. I am suggesting that the City "re-wild" this stretch of Bryan Park where the underground spring bubbles up to the surface. Maybe just on a trial basis, stop mowing? As I recall something like that was down with "feeder" stream. Another model would be the area on IU campus near the Jordan garage and School of Ed. Also, a BIG thank you for not using leaf-blowers to sweep the playgrounds any more.
