There are low hanging branches on the trail through the middle of Bryan Park. There's an especially low one just east of the wooden bridge, but there are others that require ducking. There is also vegetation coming in from the creek side that should be pruned back.
A water fountain has become stuck, unusable in current state.
I have a very old soft maple tree in my front yard. I would like to have it pruned but am unsure of who's responsibility it is for 2 reasons: 1 being there are major power lines that are resting on the limbs (close to the trunk of the tree) and 2, I believe the tree is located within 6 ft of the city street and was told that the city owns the 6 foot easement between streets and properties? I would like to have it pruned evenly because of tree's age and weight distribution. Could someone contact me about this?
Clear Creek trail - about 1/4 mile from Tapp Rd trailhead. Dog waste trash can is overflowing and out of bags.

Parks and Rec Friends - We appreciated that you put down rock on the Creek's Edge Trail earlier this summer where one of the detention ponds drains. However, this past weekend's rains have washed the bulk of that rock from this crossing. We would appreciate a repair of this issue. Thank you!
I absolutely love RCA Park and often go with my two dogs to walk the trails and play in the open field. Overall I feel safe, but I have noticed homeless men walking the trails behind the school and walking into the woods (presumably to do drugs or to find their camps which are obvious from some trails). Although not completely comfortable with this, I understand it is still a public park. My main concern is the human feces I have encountered at the park. Once, about a month ago, right on one of the paved trails, and again today (Sept 24) on the concrete area of the public restrooms. This is a serious safety matter that needs to be brought to your attention. Thank you for all the hard work your department does!
Porta pot at Upper Cascades Park is completely full. Trash and toilet paper is maintained regularly, but bowl is full of waste.
Olcott park pathway to Jackson Creek middle school parking lot. When the temperature drops below freezing, this becomes a sheet of ice due to some drainage from the football field flowing down the paved path. Dozens of school children use the path to get to and from school as well as community members. It has been a high slip risk For the last few years as this path does not receive ice removal or salting on a regular basis. Instead of trying to keep up with salting or removing the ice on this long path I hope the city could look into rerouting the source of the drainage to not flow on the pedestrian path.
Sign not properly planted into the ground at the skatepark. It's barely into the earth with no apparent concrete footer underneath. I don't know if someone fell against it or if it was the insane winds the other day that pushed it back like this.
