A winding asphalt path runs through the middle of Bryan Park between Woodlawn and Henderson. Originally it was cinder-paved and used primarily by recreational pedestrians and runners. It now serves cyclists, as a connector between the bike-pedestrian lanes on Sheridan and Southdowns on the east and the Allen Street Greenway on the west. I believe it is state law that cyclists yield to pedestrians but on this path many cyclists don't warn pedestrians when they are overtaking nor do they slow down when pedestrians are present. Because of the path's curvy nature; defensive cycling really requires slower speed. Please post notices at the Woidlawn and Henderson ends of the path, alerting cyclists to slow down and be aware of the blind curves.
In the Southeast Park tennis courts: there are yellow jackets living in one of the net support poles. They are in the eastern support pole of the West court. We were there last night and 3 yellow jackets were standing guard on top of the support pole, so we left to use the Bryan Park courts instead.
Please Mow Softball Field at Rev. Ernst D. Butler Park (812 W. 9th St.) Thank You!
Water fountain bottle filler has been running for several minutes and will not turn off
There is no drinking water for pool patrons
The park is a mess with multiple items of furniture like mattresses and cabinets. It feels unsafe and unsanitary.
I’ve seen Olcott Park grow in terms of popularity and this year it exploded. There’s a problem with electric scooters and electric bikes roaring down the trails and around blind corners almost running over walkers. These kids are conservatively doing about 15 mph, and more likely about 20 mph. Please consider banning e-scooters and e-bikes on Olcott, Sherwood Oaks, and Jackson Creek trails. Otherwise, someone will most likely get hurt the way these kids are riding these things.
Lots of overgrown weeds blocking fairways of an otherwise great disc golf course, making it difficult to enjoy and find discs. Lots of overgrown branches hanging near baskets and into fairways making previously playable holes unplayable. Disappointing since the town only has 3 18 hole courses, that one has reached this condition
It's a day that ends in Y, so the homeless and drug dealers are camped out in the park as usual. There is actually a city vehicle there today while I was picking up trash from the drinking and smoking, but they seemed intent on staying as far away as possible. We've tried complaining to the mayor. We've called the police. DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. and please just lock up the restrooms permanently at this point, they are just filled with passed out junkies who lock the doors all day anyway - destroying property. At this point just pave over the park if you're going to let it turn into a blight!
