I was told that the playground is slated for replacement in spring 2021, which is great! I would like to suggest that the city consider adding a "Natural Playground" in the wooded area behind the shelter. Natural playgrounds are so amazing for kids, and an attraction for the community. There are two great ones nearby- Cool Creek Park in Indy, and at the Louisville Nature Center in Louisville! See https://childhoodbynature.com/the-big-deal-about-nature-playgrounds/

Large tree in Bryan Park north of Sheridan Creek, undermined at the base and looking unstable. Perhaps a tree expert should take a look and assess it.

Hi, for many months now, there has been some kind of leak or drainage issue in the large dog area of the Switchyard dog park. I know parks is aware of it, as the two areas of concern have temporary fencing around them, but it is very flimsy and does not keep dogs out. I don't care about my dog getting muddy, but she contracted giardia and required vet care and medication from drinking out of the puddles, which have now been standing for so long, they are green. I understand this may not be an easy fix, but please try? Thank you.

At switchyard dog park in the large dog area, there is a huge pool of muddy water. It looks like when they fixed the puddle the other month, it just moved the problem to a different spot and is now even worse. Where the pipe drains out, it has created a large pool of muddy water that dogs lay in, eat, and drink. This is a health hazard for the dogs, and they seem to be drawn to the mud because of the heat. I ask that this hole be filled, and that the pipe extends to a location that does not flood the dog park to avoid this issue from continuing to happen.

There has been a guy building a permanent shelter along the B Link. I hear him hammering away at night. He has been destroying the trees and littering all over. This is becoming a concern for those of us in the neighborhood who want to walk our dogs down the trail. I’m also concerned if he is building fires back there since my neighbors houses line up against the trees there.

Switchyard Large Dog Park - water/mud problem. The main large tree in the center of the Large Dog Park is a pit of mud. Would really appreciate it being covered with sod to prevent muddy dogs!

Hi. I know you turned off the drinking fountain but this one is dripping. I worry it may freeze and burst later. If you need to replace in spring, one with a dog bowl like Bryan park is appreciated.

This afternoon 10-24-2024 I witnessed a school aged child (7/8 years old) defecate and urinate at the top of the largest playground slide at the Buskirk/Waldron Park. The feces and urine rolled down the entirety of the large slide. The parents cleaned the slide with a wet wipe as far as they could reach from the bottom, but surely not the whole length and definitely not sanitized. Can you please clean and sanitize the whole thing? Thank you!
