Hello- I would like to ask if there is any way more playgrounds around town could be fenced. Our 4 year old son is autistic, and likes to run. We seem to be limited to Bryan park tot lot and Broadview playground. There are lots of families of developmentally disabled and autistic children in this community, and these children- and their siblings- would benefit greatly from the opportunity to utilize more facilities. The big playground at Karst, the playground at Bryan park nearest the fenced toddler playground, and Olcott park would be wonderful additions to our family and others.
The water fountain on the west side of the park runs continuously and has for weeks since they turned it on. It needs to be fixed.
Trash and abandoned personal possessions all around seminary park including sculpture at 2nd and college.
Where did all the shade go? Happy Summer Solstice! We thought Townies needed more sun in their lives so we removed all the shade sails at all the parks and ball fields. Thanks for looking out for us parks!
Violation of the law at Bryan Park Pool
Today, 6/24/2022, I was at the Bryan Park Pool with my baby and a group of mom friends who also have babies. Another mom and I were approached by one of the male lifeguards (named Will) who told us to stop breastfeeding our babies in the children's wading pool area and to do so in the bathroom instead. We quickly responded that we have a legal right to breastfeed wherever we are located and he insisted by asking us to leave the area. This is illegal and violates the following law: Indiana Code 16-35-6-1, a link to which is included here and states the following: "Notwithstanding any other law, a woman may breastfeed her child anywhere the woman has the right to be."

Seminary parks is full of trash, abandoned personal possessions, and stolen shopping carts from local merchants. This area has progressively went downhill in the last months. Needs cleaned up and monitored mutiple times daily. People using park are breaking multiple laws every day. (Drug and alcohol use in public, public nuisance, fighting, littering, stolen property, camping and staying there after hrs, etc)
The drainage issue near the water station is getting swampy in the big dog area. Removal of the plastic pools may help until the standing water can be renediated.
Switchyard splash pad not working at 6pm on Wednesday, July 6th. It is dangerously hot and people are gathered here to cool down, many of them families with kids and people at risk. Today of all days the splash pad should be working.
