There have been a number of people sleeping in Bryan Park on the Woodlawn side by the shelter. It started with one hanging out in the shelter then has progressed to several in the field next to it. It is disturbing because of families using the shelter could be endangered by what we all know these people leave behind. A neighbor asked me to include his observation that unhoused frequent the shelter next to the baby playground, and the smell of pot is coming into the playground. I don’t know what is different, but the park is not as well mowed as in the past. It was always beautiful. I chalk it up to all of the rain. Just an observation. It is our favorite place in the world and we care about it. We go every day. Thank you for listening

I’m a frequent user of Switchyard park, but I’m very unhappy with the state of the parking lot on Walnut St. I’ve seen city employees out working in the area several times, but it’s still unsightly. The beds are sparse and bare-looking. It appears as though the working crew has mulched around Johnson grass - an invasive grass - and tall fescue. Does the landscaper not know the difference between invasive and ornamental grasses? Not only this, the hills south of the stage area around the playground and dog park are filled with thistles, Johnson grass, and other invasives. Is the city’s flagship park not worth landscaping maintenance? Considering that this is the city’s most beloved, brag-worthy park and it still looks awful, I’m hesitant to visit other parks.

Mills pool has 19 chairs TOTAL. This feels inequitable compared to Bryan Park. Given the proximity to low income housing, it feels important to give this pool a little more love instead of having starkly different offerings than BP.

Just before 10am on June 6, 2024, the same group from U-report 188774 are arguing yet again out in the woods along the Rail Trail. 2 or 3 people are shouting and cussing at each other. This has been going on for 20+ minutes this morning and is starting to be a regular, daily occurrence now. This is annoying to nearby property owners and frightening to trail users. Clear these homeless camps out, from Gordon Pike to Country Club Drive. The City's inaction along the Rail Trail is allowing the problem to not just continue, but grow ever since the Switchyard camps were cleared and more people moved south. This is a threat to the safety of everyone in the area, and dangerous for the homeless camp residents as it is a challenging area for police to respond to quickly if situations escalate.
