Hello,
There is currently a safety issue at Sherwood Oaks Park. Below the big blue slide on the playground where the mulch is worn away, there is a large chunk of concrete protruding that several children have been getting injured on. They get to the bottom of the slide and instead of landing in mulch, they're getting scraped up on the concrete chunk. There's also an additional large concrete chunk about 10 feet east of the bottom of the blue slide where mulch should be covering it.
An additional note, the swing seats on the swing set there are exceedingly high. High enough that even an adult must jump up to get onto the swing. Children are not able to stop themselves when done swinging because they are set so high. Isn't there an OSHA standard for how what height the swings should be set at?
Thanks,
Kevin

Good Morning,
When playing near the baseball diamond behind the Bryan Park pool, we
noticed these rods sticking out of the concrete behind the snackbar
area of the pool.
It would be nice if they could be covered in some way, or at least
bolted so there is not as big of a risk for impalement or other
serious injury if someone tripped, especially for young children.
We appreciate your attention to this.
thank you,

Hello,
I'm a frequent user of Bryan Park, and I'm concerned about the city truck that is being driven across the park from Henderson and Davis to the public restrooms every evening around 9 pm. so that the driver can lock the restrooms for the night. The truck travels diagonally across the playing fields, even if there are people playing or sitting on the fields, drives along the footpath and pulls right up to the restroom doors.
I'm concerned because the truck is being driven fairly quickly in an area where there are children walking and playing (last night a mother was leaving the restroom with her toddler when the truck pulled up to the doors), and also because the grass appears to be showing wear and tear from all of the vehicular traffic.
The driver does not appear to require any equipment heavier than a key to lock the restrooms, so I don't understand why he feels the need to drive right up to the doors. This truck traffic affects so many people's quiet enjoyment of the park. I wonder if the employee could be asked to park his truck in the lot at Henderson and Allen and walk the few feet to the restrooms, instead of driving through the park?
Thank you!

To whom it may concern:
The lights at the tennis courts at Bryan Park are off kilter again. They come on late and stay on well past 11:00 pm. Can you send someone to adjust the, please. I'm sure people enjoy playing tennis until nearly midnight, but the popping sound of tennis balls hitting the strings of the rackets makes sleeping difficult! Thanks for your help.

It looks like there may be poison ivy growing along the limestone wall near the climbing web at the Lower Cascades playground, in an area where children are likely to come in contact with it.
