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.

There is a substantial amount of horseweed growing in the newest part of the prairie, south of the barn.

The last two Sunday mornings, there have been cars parked on the grass under the trees along the road to the parking lot. This morning there were three. They are compacting the soil where the tree roots are. If you want to discourage this, please post signs and/or move the limestone blocks closer to the road.

I noticed on Sunday 8/11/24 two vehicles parked on the grass at Bryan Park.b there was a party at the Woodlawn shelter, and people just decided to park on the grass, perhaps so that they could more easily carry items into the shelter. This is the third time I've seen that this year, and it's a terrible precedent to be set. There is a split rail fence along part of the park property on Woodlawn. Could Parks and rec consider extending that along with signage that says no parking? When people rent the shelter, that rule can be reinforced in the agreement to rent for the day. People, to be honest, are pretty stupid. There are no signs that say "no cars", and I think it needs to be explicitly stated. Otherwise, people are going to keep driving into the Woodlawn shelter area.

Courts frequently full from people outside the neighborhood. Particularly paid coaches giving lessons. If someone wants to make money let them do it in a private court before taking all of the neighborhood courts for hours from local residents. Please change the policy. If already a policy please post it.

Since the storm there are multiple tree limbs still down. Last night a limb fell and is blocking the handicap parking spot and is a hazard hanging over the water fountain as well. Also the playground is a mess with tall weeds and thistle as well as in need for mulch.

Hi. All 3 ball fields at Bryan Park are in disarray. None of them are a complete field; each one is missing multiple bases, pitching mounds, home plate, etc. They are also a hazard to players and the overgrown grass makes it a challenge to see the bases that are still there. As someone who regularly coaches kids and plays in adult rec league ball, it would be amazing to have at least one park in town that has decent ball fields open to the public. Thanks!
