Went to Leonard Springs last Monday. As you know there is a trail map just inside the gate. That map is at the junction of the main trail, the road, and what appears to be a trail off to the right. We decide that we should tackle the difficult part and then have an easy hike backup on the road. Big mistake. The trail was steep and very slick from the rain. Half way down a friend slipped in the mud, tried to steady himself on a tree which immediately gave way causing him to faceplant into downed debris and breaking the radius in the elbow. Luckily we had a soft pack to use as a sling. Being that going backup would be impossible we continued down hoping to pick up the road as indicated on the map. Since the trail in most info we had seen prior listed the trail as easy what we were on was in no way "easy." Much to our surprise we encountered another much more well defined and developed trail which we could take back up. This trail was easy, steps and well groomed surface. Once back on the road we stopped and looked at the trail map again. It soon became apparent the sign was in a very unfortunate location or would have better served by having an annotation like "you are here" with an arrow indicating the trail is actually 50 yards down the road. Please move the sign or add a caveat that what appears to be a well worn trail is very steep and difficult is not the main trail. My friend has had one surgery and faces others to repair the damage. By the way we are all fairly athletic and experienced hikers. thank you for your consideration.

The wooden bridge at Bryan Park in front of the bathrooms has a section of it that is collapsing and it’s very dangerous someone’s foot could go through when they’re walking or when they’re riding a bike

The steps from this bridge look like they are not safe. This would not be apparent if you were coming from the north part of the park to the trail south by the creek.

I have walked the trail at Latimer Woods at least once a day for the last 4 years. Thanks for providing us with a dirt trail through the woods.
Last fall, I believe employees of Parks and Rec. raked the leaves off the trail after they all fell in November. While this may have seemed like a good idea, the trail became treacherous after a rain, freeze/thaw, or snow.
Please leave the leaves on the trail. They provide traction, and help prevent erosion.
Thanks,
Mike Forney

#92 light is out.
I used to simply contact the Pks person in charge of replacing the light bulbs, but I don't know if he is still with Pks!

On the Clear Creek Trail just north of the That Road Trailhead, Nestbox 24 is down. This box been used many years in a row for tree swallows who will be returning to the area soon. I would be happy to repair it myself if you would like me to, but I’m hoping it can be up again by the time the birds are looking for their nest spots.

Trees down. Trail is very soggy. There is evidence of off-path use and illegal dumping. Trail needs attention.
