Hi, i just found another used needle in the playground at Rev. Butler Park. This is in addition to one i found under a picnic shelter earlier this earlier. The City absolutely must provide sharps containers at every park! I know or at least two other community members who have shared their concerns with the City about needles at Butler Park. The first child that steps on a dirty needle and sues the city will be so unfortunate. Posting sharps containers in public places is a totally accepted best practice to promote the safety of both the general public, and the needle using community. Please.

Sign not properly planted into the ground at the skatepark. It's barely into the earth with no apparent concrete footer underneath. I don't know if someone fell against it or if it was the insane winds the other day that pushed it back like this.

Drainage from the football field covers the path from Olcott Park to JCMS with water (even after days with no rain). The water turns to ice when the temperature drops. Dozens of school children and community members use the path daily. I’ve seen school children slip and fall hard on their way to school. In past years the path is not adequately able to be maintained to remove the ice...the ice gets so thick that a general maintenance crew would not be able to remove it once it has formed. This path is often skipped by snow removal efforts (not sure if it’s City or MCCSC). Please consider a way to redirect this flow before someone gets seriously hurt. Thank you.

Oclott Park walk path, where it offshoots to Jackson Creek Middle School. There is a constant trickle of water that streams across the path and down the offshoot. On cold days it forms a treacherous layer of ice. Very difficult to cross that area when walking around the park and extremely dangerous for students walking to JCMS. Not sure if it's a natural spring or if the Olcott Building is leaking, but water needs to be diverted from running across the walking path. Someone is going to get hurt.

On the east side of Rev. Butler park, a boardwalk-like section of the path has broken through or collapsed, leaving jagged edges.

Curious: why was this Bryan Park bluebird box moved from the east side to the west side of the big Norway spruce between the tennis courts and the Woodlawn picnic shelter? Thanks!

There is a parasite going around at the Ferguson Dog park. I know of a dog that has contracted Giardia over 6 times. Someone needs to post signage around the park to let people know the dangers of not picking up after their dogs and more poop stations with more bags so we can make it easier to hold the pet parents accountable. I have tried to tell other dog owners to pick up after their pets but it has not succeeded. Please do something because pet parents like me can't take out dogs while there is an issue like this. A friend and I have even gone to the length of going throughout the park and cleaning up the entire thing. However it has not stayed that way. Please do something so not other dogs have to get sick and potentially die.

Two memorial trees in Bryan Park along the path in the middle have damaged plaques. One is almost completely ruined.
