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.
Follow-up on case #205921 Response: Caden Swanson commented on this case. CBU Eng investigated this on 9/26/2025 and found this to be from the storm system originating from the sloped area near the pool. No action needed. Question: In the photo with thise new case # (the left half of the photo i sent with the original case) there is a access ("manhole") cover much closer to the central path. Is that a cover opening to a storm drain that somehow connects ground water with the white PCP pipe draining in to the Creek? Thanks in advance. Caden Swanson commented on this case.

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.

Followup on Case #205714 response Thank you for your suggestion. We have already created a free self-guided tree tour at Bryan Park to highlight some of the trees on site. The tour is available on our mobile app, OuterSpatial. We plan to continue to add more tours and signs with QR codes in the future. Please make that local too and user-friendly / intuitive. Somewhere on the City / Parks & Rec pages. Link the OuterSpatial thingie there, but honestly, i tried an experiment of looking for that info there. I didn't find anything except events.
Clarification of what i just submitted as case 206040 I meant I didn't find a tree guide "there" meaning the City / Parks & Rec pages. But neither did I with OuterSparial. I jniw that i found an online guide to wild plants (i think) in Switchyard Park. For a tree guide template you might consider the updated guide to IU's tree "The Woodland Campus."
I think the Limestone Greenway is a wonderful addition to our Trails. However, I think it needs at least one trash receptacle. Otherwise, it will get trashed.
I am requesting information on city-wide events and classes.
B line trail from Henderson to south walnut is a mess. There are hypodermic needles, lots of dog feces, clothes, garbage and debris. The needles are dangerous and disgusting.
When is the water going to be turned back on at the Ferguson dog park?
