Poison ivy next to the court where the balls roll all the time. We went through four balls because we have to switch balls every time we hit the poison. Ivy in an hour and 15 minutes. We've had one player get it so bad they had to go on prednisone. Please weed it.

My son found this needle last week in the parking lot of the Butler Park Gardens. We went back to the visit our garden today and it was still there so I picked it up and put it in the needle box at the park restrooms. This is the second time in a month or so that our children have come dangerously close to used needles.
Baseball field is basically unrecognizable as a baseball field because of the weeds.

At this stated property along E. 5th St, there are trees along the road which are have copious winter weed vines climbing them. If these are not street trees, that is to say the city is not responsible for their care, I would be glad to try to cut the vines at the base if I knew from whom to get permission.

It appears a private (not city) tree crew has "topped" a few street trees along E. Tapps Turn. I know the city has taken down a few trees in the area due to disease, but this is entirely different. I realize it's too late to do anything for these particular trees now, but they've left the equipment on the street, suggesting they'll be back to do more butchering next week. Please ask someone check on this work before they do any further damage.

This is to report a threat that we received at the Switchyard dog park against our dog. After one of our dogs barked and jumped at one of the dogs that was on leash at the entrance to the park, the owner yelled at us and threatened to have our dog put down. He then called security and in front of security staff member threatened to shoot our dog. We regularly bring our dogs to the dog park and they are very friendly with other dogs. We felt threatened during that incident and felt this should be a matter of record for the benefit of other park patrons.
