Safety hazard: There is Exposed barbed wire on the edge of the playing fields. Along the eastern edge where the fields meet the woods, there are several lines of barbed wire. They have been there for decades, but I recently saw a person get cut from them when they went into the edge of the woods to retrieve a ball. It is particularly dangerous starting at the press box and walking north along the woods - about 4 feet in from the playing fields. In some areas, it is a single piece of barb wire about 3 feet off the ground – easy to run into. In other areas (behind one set of bleachers) there is more of it in coils on the ground. Towards the northern edge where the field meets the woods, it is farther into the woods and it is a fence. I think it would be in the City’s and the community‘s best interest to remove this to avoid further injury. I suggest staff scan the entire line to make sure they get it all and don’t miss the pieces that are hidden by growth. These are the coordinates for a section that is on the ground and hard to see; 39.12601° N, 86.50944° W (In one photo I took of the barbed wire it is almost impossible to see because it blends in with the sticks.)

The Clear Creek Trail is under attack by the local flora! Yes, that's right - the vegetation is taking over. The entire route of the trail, from Tapp Road to Church Lane, needs to be seriously trimmed back. The trees and brush are overtaking the trail. There are hazards from both a vertical and horizontal line of attack. In places the trail is narrowed by the overgrowth crowding out the trail. In other places, there are branches hanging down low that can take a rider off a bike. The entire length of the trail needs some trim work to cut back the overgrowth and low hanging branches and restore the trail to its full width. The trail would be much safer with this work completed.

52. That's how many vertical and/or horizontal obstructions I counted on the Clear Creek Trail from the Tapp Road trailhead to the Church Lane bridge. 52 points where tree limbs or overgrown bushes are in the way. Cyclists have to duck. Pedestrians have to weave. It's dangerous and makes sharing the trail tough. 52. Maybe you count differently. Even if it's half or a quarter, that's still 26 or 13 hazards. That's dangerous. This trail needs cleaned up to allow unfettered access and enjoyment.

This the foot bridge over the stream at the North end of the clear creek trail. This is on the east end of the bridge. The piece of metal my kid is pointing at should be over the big crack at her feet.

The city trees on our block(s)(in the Sweetbriar subdivision of Winslow Farms) have many dead branches that cover the street. We worry those dead branches will fall on a car.

The homeless camp that lives on the pickle ball courts are smoking and their stuff is over a large portion of the out of bounds section, along with their bikes. The pickle ball courts are for playing pickle ball, and I'm getting tired of having to navigate their stuff.
