I was at a cookout at Bryan Park this past week and noticed the orange slide near the shelter on the Woodlawn avenue side isn't very sturdy. The top of the slide where it connects to the rest of the structure only has one bolt and it looks as if it should have 4. A man there commented on how "treacherous" it was and wouldn't let his daughter play on it.

I love Bryan Park and have walked there nearly every morning for many years. In the past year or so, bikes have increased in numbers in the park and have become a significant danger to pedestrians. While there are many bikers who are careful and ride slowly down the park's paths, there are always a few bike riders who speed along the park's sidewalks and paths, endangering pedestrians and pets. They fail to announce themselves when they are passing people from behind and ride at speeds that are too fast to be safe. There are many older people who use the park as well as people with small children and pets. The bikers are especially dangerous to them. There should be some safe places for pedestrians in Bloomington and the parks should be among these places. Please keep the bikes out of the park and off of the sidewalks surrounding the park or please enforce bicycle speed limits in the park. This is an accident waiting to happen. An encounter with an unsafe biker is nearly a daily event in the park.

The fenced in playground at Bryan Park, the one for smaller children, has some significant gaps in the rubber mats under the play equipment. One was large enough that my toddler was constantly getting his foot stuck and tripping. Can this please be looked at and corrected? Thanks!!

Banneker Center: Ms. McKibben attended a lecture about gangs and was upset to find out they could exist in Blmtn. She contacted the probation dept and the Police Dept who told her the areas of greatest gang activity was BBCC, Kirkwood and the Mall. She withdrew both her children the Teen X-Treme Camp and wanted to know why we had not informed her of the risk. She questioned whether P&R was "burying their heads in the sand" about gang issues.

I took my 3 year old son to Bryan Park yesterday and a man had a dog with him that was poorly restrained (on a 25 foot cable). My son was running towards the toddler playground when the dog ran after him and knocked him down. The dog was on top of my child for several seconds and while the dog didn't harm my son, it was a very frightening experience for him. I don't want him to be afraid of dogs, and I've been trying to teach him to appreciate animal companionship. I don't know what the rules are for leashes in Bryan Park, but dogs need to be handled better, especially near or around the kids' playgrounds. I didn't get the man's name or information but I took a picture. He was walking on a bright orange tightrope and he had a white dog (young, probably a puppy - this is the one that chased my son) and a black dog.

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!
