There is what appears to be vomit at the top of the orange slide. It was there Tuesdaya and Wednesday night when my children went to play. I reported this under case #183662 but forgot to attach a location. Thanks!

Good Evening. You may know this already, but there are two landscape plants in the Mills Pool grounds that are nearly passed away completely and really look bad. One is the Blue Spruce tree right on Blair Ave and the other is a Mugo Pine in the long winding planter bed up next to the fence along Blair Ave. They are really not well and they look really bad. I'm hoping they can be removed prior to the start of the pool season on May 27th so the rest of the city can see the beauty of this pool and grounds and neighborhood. Just trying to be a good citizen and member of my community. Thanks for all you do for all the parks and grounds in the city.
New street tree not replaced: after the multi-use path was installed, a tree replacing a large locust was planted. That tree died almost immediately. This spring, someone from the city cut it off at the base, but did not replace it. I u-reported it last year as well and was informed then that the contractor which originally planted it would replace it sometime during last year. It’s no skin off my nose if it isn’t replaced, just rather disappointing. Thanks!
The new "rumble strips" on the wood walkway are a trip hazard. Solved for the slippery problem but now little kids are falling left and right. Take the screws out. Cover in sand and spray glue. Done.
I am delighted that the two new boardwalks have traction strips. I hope that this one, on the central path, near the rest rooms, will get the strips soon. THIS is the slippery one where I fell and injured my wrist. In a cast and brace for about two months. I uReported all three boardwalks. In response this one was power-washed and I was assured more would be done when Spring came. I hope this report goes through---lately they haven't.
While removing the bush honeysuckle from behind this guard rail and into the preserve the erosion from stormwater runoff was noticed. How can we look to mitigate this drainage issue? I can email a photo and video but, attempting to submit it in this report isn’t working.
Southeast Park has ground nesting bees living under the benches surrounding the playground. Please Take care to remove before someone gets stung bad
