Poison ivy growing on sidewalk leading up the path to the park from Highland. This was reported by my husband last year and we believe someone just cut it off it’s coming back again and needs to be treated.
I've contacted the Parks Department before about my concern that the lights along the trail and connection to the B-line either have no lights or broken lights that don't function. I've watched as Butler Park has had an increase in use from new families in the area and feel this will only increase in the coming years. It is a safety concern that the Northeast area of the park has no lighting. In addition, the Indiana Railroad came through and decimated the trees along the tracks bordering the park. They have never cleaned this up and several of these large trees are leaning against the light poles and hanging over the trail. I wondered when the lights might be fixed/added and when the railroad will be required to clean up their mess? I see proper lighting in other nearby parks properties (building & trades and the B-line) and don't understand why Butler Parks condition is not more of a priority. The park offers a great spot for nearby families and individuals to spend time as well as those visiting to use the gardens or ball-field and as this use increases it would be nice to see it get some attention.
Hi, i just found another used needle in the playground at Rev. Butler Park. This is in addition to one i found under a picnic shelter earlier this earlier. The City absolutely must provide sharps containers at every park! I know or at least two other community members who have shared their concerns with the City about needles at Butler Park. The first child that steps on a dirty needle and sues the city will be so unfortunate. Posting sharps containers in public places is a totally accepted best practice to promote the safety of both the general public, and the needle using community. Please.
I walk my dog at Winslow Sports Complex early in the morning and the lights have been on recently due to repair work (I like having the lights on while walking my dog). Will they still be on moving forward? Please let me know, thank you.
I picnicked in Bryant Park this afternoon and noticed a woman collecting plastics. I approached her and it turns out she a conscientious homeowner who lives in the neighborhood. She apparently petitions consistently to have the parks put in recycling cans. I would like to add my voice to the hers and the many others who are surely requesting such a service. Please install recycling cans in the city parks. Thank you
Can you let your staff know there grass on baseball field
Fencing material still in grass. Needs picked up on Northside of Broadview Park
The security lights both on the trail and the parking lot have been off at dark for the past several days. I'm not sure if they are damaged or just turned off for some reason.
Something is wrong with the telescope on the playground equipment at Butler park. My grand daughter's finger got pinched in it (it folded over on her finger) and 2 days later it is still hurting her. I hope this can be checked so no other child gets hurt. Seems to be defective? Thanks a lot.
Parking lot area very overgrown with weeds The parking lot by community garden And low hanging tree limb over sidewalk on south side of park
