I would like to suggest adding more no-mow areas to Bryan Park, specifically around all trees (to protect them), along the North boundary (several feet in depth) and extending the no-mow area along the creek tributary which runs North West-South East and feeds into the main creek. It would be very helpful to all wildlife, particularly birds and insects. I'd be happy to talk to someone about this idea. Also reduce the number of times the park is mowed (maybe it could just be every other week?) and stop using leaf blowers!

The playground mulch area is getting overgrown by grass and weeds. It’s a tripping hazard for my toddler (can’t see edges of walkways and changes in elevation) and looks unsightly. Some form of weed control needs done… at minimum it needs to be mowed regularly. Thank you!!

The Switchyard Park public restrooms near the splash pool were locked at 8pm Sunday while a 7pm orchestra concert was ongoing. The posted closing time is inconsiderate of the hundreds of music lovers in the concert audience who were not aware of a facilities curfew. The sympathetic parks employee said he was instructed to lock the building. In the interest of respecting anticipated needs of park users for whom the venue was built, please review the reasons for having a restroom lockdown policy during events that are expected to have a large audience.

Who recently put masking tapes on the tennis court (for other sports?)? Is this allowed? It could trip people playing on the court.

Hi, I was with my daughter at the Southeast Park playground today and noticed an unusual plant near the swings and hobby horses with a tiny tomato-like fruit. My plant app identified it as Carolina horse nettle, which is a member of the nightshade family and is poisonous. I pulled and discarded all the plants I saw in the area with berries, but I am concerned that this plant is present on a playground and wanted to alert you. The berries look a lot like tiny tomatoes or globe eggplant and would appear edible to many. Thanks for your time!

The park courts need new rims they are broken. They need new nets and the backboards need repainted.
