There is a watering station for humans and dogs located on the Clear Creek Trail, 1/6th of a mile south of the Gordon Pike overpass. The button for the dog watering part of the station is sticking, resulting in the water continually running. This was observed Thursday, September 11 at 8:40 a.m.
Traffic calming area and ROW overgrown into the street making it difficult for two cars to drive through.
I’ve nothing about my complaint about the jet engine noise emanating from the hand dryers in Twin Lakes bathrooms. I was told it was “on the agenda.” What happened?
Very large tree on 2nd and College across the street from Cindy Vlasman Insurance Agency is dying and several very large dead branches are above street
The spruce trees along the perimeter path need some maintenance---weeds like Spanish needles and even saplings are growing up under and around them. Especially the two on the north side below the tennis courts. (Question: I assume you have maintenance schedules for all the Parks---daily, weekly, seasonal, yearly? If so, I'd suggest adding those spruce to the once a year list.
Congrats on the Bryan Park Arboretum designation. A suggestion: a guide to all the trees, accessible by QR code to Park visitors. (Assuming you don't plan on physical IDs like the ones in IU's Arboretum). Perhaps include the trees along Sheridan Creek between Woodlawn and Highland(?). Would be a great educational resource. Some years you had a tree identification activity (submit IDs, get a certificate), intended for kids, but I enjoyed doing it.
On Sunday September 14, at around 8 pm, a guy who calls himself "Turbo" came in to the dog park with five out-of-control dogs. These dogs have repeatedly ganged up on my dog and on other dogs. Several people have repeatedly had conversations with him about controlling his dogs and respecting the two-dog-per-person rule at the park. Tonight, when we asked him to call off his dogs, he angrily yelled at my wife and other people at the park. I saw him yell at a guy named Jim and flip over one of the tables in front of him. We tried to leave, and he followed us and yelled at us. We brought our dog home and came back to see how Jim was doing, and in that time, he had returned to the park and was continuing to yell at Jim. Jim tried to file a U-Report, but he wasn't sure if it processed. If security patrols at the Switchyard see a middle-aged white male with gray dreadlocks and five dogs heading toward the dog park, they should know that this guy is trouble. I am concerned that he might escalate a situation, and I don't want to see anyone get hurt.
Near the Clear Creek Trail parking lot off of Tapp Rd there are two large pieces of limestone stacked just north of the bike rack. Just under the far right bottom corner of the lower rock is an entry point for a yellowjacket nest. There was a lot of activity with the afternoon sun, with at least 15-20 yellowjackets seen flying around and entering the opening.
We cleaned the ditch between E Southdowns Dr and E Sheridan Dr. The debris has been stacked at the intersection of S Ballantine and E Sheridan Dr. Would the city parks dept please set a date for pick-up? Thank you. V/r, Mark
The fields were all locked. Me and my toddler like to work on base running and using the little playground in there. Don't understand why they are locked. There were clearly no reservations and the fence height isn't of insufficient height to prevent entrance of someone who wanted to get in. So seems redundant and a waste of resources to leave them locked (who wants to have to come unlock them). If you could leave them unlocked during the day when there are no reservations that would be great. It is important to me to have the space to explore the sport of baseball with my children.
