Broken wooden bridge with tree limbs sticking out at Bryan Park central path
I am sensitive to the needs of the unhoused and the city needs to be doing much more to protect them and provide them safe living spaces, but it is frustrating to me that I cannot walk my dog in any of the parks near me (Bryan park, switchyard) without feeling unsafe because of homeless people yelling at and following me. Bryan park used to be a safe park.

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.
Memorial tree marker for George Juergens is heaved up from the ground More likely a mower might clip it Maybe add soil, or dig it up and reseat it again.
A question about memorial trees. I just noticed this London plane tree planted not far from the stump of a sycamore. I am curious why a non-native tree was chosen, instead of a native sycamore. I urge you to plant native trees in our park and tree plots, for various reasons including avoiding a repeat of those Callery pears,adjacent to the tennis courts, planted and then cut down later when we learned better. There are so many Callery trees along the B-Line that, I assume, will have to be cut down and replaced
Many fallen trees still down at crestmont after the storm a few weeks ago. Makes playing the disc golf course extremely difficult.
I saw a single person in a black suv making an off-road track of some kind on Tuesday afternoon. Neighbors adjacent the park had wondered about the truck tracks in the grass, and I witnessed what has been happening. The guy left the parking space on W. 16th heading west and turned onto the grass parallel to the creek. Then he slowly drove up the hill, slipping and sliding in the mud back to the single parking spot. He repeated the same route, as if he were trying to make a 4-wheeler track. Very strange. I was staring at him from my garden at the corner. When he saw me stare, he left the parking spot and headed away toward Tri-North. I thought the park maintenance staff might want to know. Also, the little footbridge crossing the ditch was handy, but it was removed during creek/culvert repair.---Sharon Roualet, Crescent Bend Neighborhood Association Crestmont Park is busier than ever and needs attention.
Beginning this Spring 2024 there have been motorcycles using the park as a low key motocross for at least two late teens boys. This began early April. I approached them after a couple of weeks of the noise from their intermittent use, stating that I did not think the park was an appropriate area to be riding. they countered, saying they had just that day had a conversation with a police officer, called out in response to a complaint, who told them they could ride only in the park and not on the street. these kids do run their bikes on 16th, N Hancock , and 15th steets. They have been in the park 3 to 4 days each week. I arrived home tonight about 10:05 and there were headlights and engine noise running in the park. This dos not sit well with me. I contribute time to clearing the park of invasive species so everyone can have better, larger access to the park, and an agent of the city is suggesting it is allowable to have motor vehicles mix with pedestrians freely. The noise is considerable at times in what is essentially my front yard
