Greetings,
My wife, I, and a few others, want to ask about donating a tree to Bryan Park in memory of a dear friend. Can you please forward this note appropriately, so we might be pointed to some basic information about the process?
Thank you.

Hi folks,
I'm writing to you all about the scoretower at Winslow Sports Park during youth baseball games. I've been going to the ballpark for 8 years, and have kept score during games many times. There is a rule clearly posted in the tower that says that people under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. The BJLBA rule is, I believe, that the visiting team is required to supply someone to run the scoreboard.
Many times when I am up in the scoretower, I am the only adult there, but there are many kids running around unattended. Some of these kids are quietly keeping score for a game. Many are running around. I have seen them almost fall out of the window reaching for things that fell on the roof below. I have seen them leaning out to talk or throw things at their friends. I have seen them sitting on the ledges and wrestling. I have seen them standing on the folding chairs. Sooner or later, someone is going to fall out of one of those windows.
When I am up there, I don't like the feeling that I am responsible for all those kids. I realize that legally perhaps I am not responsible, but if they are being wild up there, I do feel responsible. If kids are up there without adult supervision, I usually send them down. Today another mother complained, saying that she (and her coach) had told her kids to go up there and keep score and that they do it many times. Another day a kid told me that the Parks and Rec supervisor had said he could go up (and he was one of the rowdier ones). I personally can't distinguish between who is going to do dangerous things and who isn't, and when I am trying to concentrate on keeping score, I don't like trying to keep an eye on a bunch of kids at the same time.
If you all think that I am being unreasonable, then I suggest that you change the rule about unaccompanied kids in the tower. My other suggestion is that BJLBA remind coaches and umpires that the visiting teams need to provide an adult to run the scoreboard.
Thanks,
Deborah Deliyannis

The drinking fountain near the fenced playground in Bryan Park is not working properly. When it is activated, it sprays water in several directions.
Thank you!
