I am delighted that the two new boardwalks have traction strips. I hope that this one, on the central path, near the rest rooms, will get the strips soon. THIS is the slippery one where I fell and injured my wrist. In a cast and brace for about two months. I uReported all three boardwalks. In response this one was power-washed and I was assured more would be done when Spring came. I hope this report goes through---lately they haven't.

Asking permission to establish a small perenial planting area at the base of the Park Ridge park sign on the corner. I and some neighbors wish to plant a small area to add to the park beauty. We plan to plant perennials so they may flower through the warmer seasons. This will be maintained by there Invasive removal team members, I am a member and have completed the volunteers orientation. We will also loop in our recently appointed Park Ambassador. We will use plants from our own yards. We might add a small stone border but make it low to not impede lawn mowing activity. I will not proceed until I receive your permission.

Yesterday while hiking in the woods at RCA Park with my grandchildren There was a tent pitched back in the woods. Today in the same place the tent was gone but belongings including a backpack and shirt were there. There was also evidence of a campfire. A live tree had suffered damage from the fire. Please check into this. It is just off a major dirt path and visible from the path. Leaving their stuff there suggests they might return. I let BPD know. I am attaching photos here.

You mentioned the new traction strips on North side of Bryan Park. I think they r very bad because they are too tall and make walking/jogging hurt the feet and ankles due to height and are too “ bumpy” because of height. They should be flatter to not interfere. I’d recommend removing. I purposely now avoid that bridge or walk in grass

There is a tent pitched along the woods trail at TCA Park in the woods.This is not safe, hygienic, or fair to park users. Please, do something about this. Your park security is useless. They do not patrol the trails. Please do something about this. Worse city government in 50 years. Do you jobs that we are paying you to do. RCA should not become another Seminary or mimic what goes on behind Community Auto. I do not feel safe taking kids in the woods anymore. Camping is prohibited here. Enforce the law!

There is a dog off leash at the foundation of the old shelter house that was torn down. There really needs to be an animal control person at the park from time to time. Or security.

Winslow farms park (at the ball fields) only has one very disgusting looking water fountain. Would love to see a new water fountain for the kids, possibly with a water fill option. Thanks!
