Posen ivy on bridge at Bryan Park.
There are two parks at Bryan Park. I’m specifically talking about the one that is designated for younger kids. Today, my son and I were playing with other kids his age (2.5) when a large group of kids (average age: 8) showed up with two caregivers. The older kids were pushing and shoving on the play structure, creating a danger for younger kids. My question is: is there an age limit imposed for use of that particular playground? My understanding is that it is for kids 5 and under. What can I do to help impose this? It’s definitely a safety issue for smaller children when the older children begin climbing up the slides (yes, inside, and on the outside) and crowding and pushing on the platforms.

The roller slide has a loose roller that us lower than others and causes a gap to catch fingers, toes, and clothing. The tall slide was replaced with a zip tied grate without the zip ties clipped, so it can poke kids. Bryan Park needs a better park than this!
broken handle of play structure at Bryan Park
Tree in the front of 1002 E Heather Drive, between the sidewalk and street, has died and needs to be removed. It is a very small tree, only planted a few years ago. The deer over the winter have removed most of the bark, which has killed the tree.
Grass clippings! Hazard! The southbound lane of Woodlawn along Bryan Park has grass clippings all over the right 1/3 or 1/4 of it. The park got mowed and a city employee left grass in the road. This is a danger to all the cyclists, motorcyclists, and scooter riders. Can we get that mower operator a leaf blower? This happens routinely around the park and on Sheridan and Southdowns in the multi use paths. Very careless and dangerous for the city to leave debris in the road.
