Outside the homeless shelter at switchyard park off the walking path are hundreds of cigarette butts. This is making the area look very trashy as well as dangerous for wildlife/animals. Please hold people that litter accountable. Please also talk to shelter organizers to provide trash stations for cigarette butts and help educate people responsible for littering.

Homeless taking over the wall benches near the pickle-ball court and under the stairs coming out of the warehouse next to the trail. Grown men on the east side of the trail just south of Allen street openly drinking beer. Im appalled that in a park that isn't even complete is being taken over by the homeless. Thank god my kids are grown I would never allow my kids to go there. What is it going to take for the Mayor to address this issue? Is it going to be a child being stuck with a needle or someone being seriously injured? I would never allow my daughters walk alone on the trail and thats a shame! It's only a matter of time before one of these individuals snaps and will do something unthinkable.

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!!

Five of the trees in the Fergusan Park have been very damaged in the last few days. Can't tell if it was machinery, a chain with a large dog (doubt it for all five trees) or purposeful vandalism. At least one of the trees has deep gashes all around.

Near the workout equipment on the northwest corner of the Bryan Park there is a hole (see picture). Someone put a metal "donut" over it to warn passersby. Seen Monday morning around 8. Your map location feature is harder to use it used to be.

I was at switchyard park playing pickleball with a my children, ages 4 and 7, on Friday evening. Those experiencing homelessness were congregated on the north benches. Hot coffee carafes had been put out, and a constant strong smell of tobacco smoke was present. The smoke smell was overpowering and caused us to leave the park.

The playground at Park Ridge Park needs additional fill/fiber/woodchips/whatever it is called. There are areas of consistently exposed dirt, there are deep pits under the swings, and the distance between the bottoms of some of the slides and the playground surface has grown large.
Additionally, there are areas of exposed dirt in the grassy areas around the playground in areas or erosion. It has been worse in the past, but still seems like it needs addressed to try to prevent additional erosion.
