I was playing disc golf on the Rogers-Binford disc golf course on July 10 and ran into mountain bikers who are converting the southeast corner of Rogers-Binford property into a mountain bike course. They've trampled several new paths through the foliage and created jumps and berms along the public path for the disc golf course. I'm concerned that mountain biking and jumping and disc golf don't necessarily go together. Is mountain biking and jumping on Rogers-Binford property a city installation? Are pedestrians and disc golf players still allowed in the area? Thank you for your response.

People using the field at RCA Park as a dog park; two bully-breed dogs off leash. Owners were smoking on park grounds and did not pick up dog feces. The dogs were not in an enclosed area and at one point ran onto the playground where there were small children playing. This was extremely unsafe. Dog owners drive a large red ford truck with black trim. License plate CBL917. Please investigate so these people know not to do this again. I fear for the safety of the people who visit the park. Thank you!

What improvement is in store for the Bryan Park tennis court? It's a good social distancing sport. Could this work have waited till Fall?

The placement of the entry/exit gates at the new dog park is difficult for a lot of dogs/dog owners since, in order to enter/exit the dog park from the main park entrance, you have to walk past the entire dog park fence to get to and from the entry gate on the south end. If there was a gate at the north end of the dog park, it would avoid a lot of escalated barking/fearful dogs which could lead to dangerous situations like dog bites and would be a lot more user friendly.

There is a tree branch from a tree that is located along the back tree line in the park that touches our roof when the wind blows. It will damage our roof which will be costly. Could someone please trim off the branch? As far as a date, ASAP would be great! Thank you.

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.

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.

Could you please fill dirt around the trees in the large dog park? It has been over a year since I've visited the dog park, and the swamplands around the trees is still not fixed. Creating a hill around the tree will allow the dirt to compact into flat land for future grass growth. Thank you.

Physical safety issues on playground at Switchyard Park. There are large sharp-edged rocks next to the two concrete slides separated by slippery artificial grass. I watched as small children tried to climb these rocks with no railings to hold on to, or as they tried to go up the grassy area next to the rocks and slides. This is a disaster waiting to happen! I was alarmed that a child was going to fall off the rocks or onto the sharp edges. I saw several children bump their heads on the concrete edge of the slides as they landed hard. Both of these issues need immediate attention. There needs to be a padding strip on the slides at the bottom. The large sharp-edged rocks need to be removed and steps with a railing installed on both sides of the slides.
