Hello Park and Recreation Team,  I would like to share my thoughts about the new equipment called "Victory Tower” at Bryan park.   Would you consider adding something like a ladder to come down?  I see 2 options to come down either by a pole or come down with the slope.  When more kids are waiting in the line to enjoy the equipment, it is hard to come down the slope.  I do not know but I feel like the pole is expected to be used.   When my child tried to use the pole, it was a little bit far from the top of the equipment so she got scared of grabbing a pole. More kids were trying to play with the equipment and my child felt pressured and cried.  I wish I could have climbed the pole to grab her but I could not.  If a child gets stuck at the top of the equipment, it will cause congestion.  I feel like adding something like a ladder to come down would be more helpful.

This report is for the person that created #192463, in case they are checking on status. What you have reported has been reported before and obviously nothing has been done. The same thing has happened to others and me. I don't know what would constitute negligence on the city's part but... they have dropped the ball on this one. My $.02 is fixing the deep dip and drastically uneven surface at the intersection (that's what took me out) would be the least, installing a reflective post at the corners would be even better, or better yet a railing. Thank you for reporting your friend's experience and I hope they are not gravely injured and are doing okay. With any luck this will be addressed.

At 9:40pm on August 18, 2024, an MSI security vehicle (the small two seater with a short bed) ran the stop sign on Woodlawn heading north at Southdowns, right by Bryan Park where the multi-use path and park exits/entrances meet Southdowns and Sheridan. The MSI vehicle then made an erratic turn on Woodlawn without any turn signals, turning sharply to the west just north of Sheridan, and entering the park through the grass, then quickly driving along the walking path. MSI is not law enforcement. They were not driving in a law enforcement vehicle during an emergency. They have no right to disregard a stop sign when other traffic is around and when pedestrians and cyclists could be in the area. Failing to stop at a stop sign is a traffic infraction and MSI should be held to account for putting others at risk. The abrupt turn into the park was also dangerous. The City should be aware of the type of behavior the hired help is engaging in around town.

Hi - the entrances to Bryan Park at Woodlawn and Southdowns present a hazard. A friend and I were riding bikes and this culvert is hidden when approaching from Southdowns. They didn’t see it, flipped over, and ended up in the creek drainage area. Please take a look at this area and install visible barriers. Thanks!

I noticed on Sunday 8/11/24 two vehicles parked on the grass at Bryan Park.b there was a party at the Woodlawn shelter, and people just decided to park on the grass, perhaps so that they could more easily carry items into the shelter. This is the third time I've seen that this year, and it's a terrible precedent to be set. There is a split rail fence along part of the park property on Woodlawn. Could Parks and rec consider extending that along with signage that says no parking? When people rent the shelter, that rule can be reinforced in the agreement to rent for the day. People, to be honest, are pretty stupid. There are no signs that say "no cars", and I think it needs to be explicitly stated. Otherwise, people are going to keep driving into the Woodlawn shelter area.
