The baby pool at Bryan park is significantly colder than the main pool. Babies need warmer water, not colder, especially now that they can’t take a break by going down the slides on their parent’s lap anymore.
Blocks in wall have fallen/ been broken down.
The second light pole south of the far north east corner of the Bryan Park tennis courts has a metal piece that is off and the wires inside are now exposed. This could be dangerous having live electrical wires exposed in a park.
There are holes in the ground where the small, wooden fence used to be along Sheridan Creek in Bryan Park. Several of these have not been filled since that fence was removed. Friday evening, my dog tripped into one of these holes. She has developed a limp since and will need a veterinary exam Monday. These holes are large enough that a dog/ child/small adult foot can go into them. They have become covered in leaves and difficult to spot. The holes are on the north side of the sidewalk between Woodlawn and the park restrooms, at least.
Is the pool basketball hoop as Bryan Park pool coming back soon? It was a great way for older kids to enjoy playing in the pool together. They definitely miss it now that it is gone.
Please be sure the lights in Bryan Park do not come on when it gets dark during the Eclipse
Why are we allowing the unhoused to live in this park? There are currently 9 people sleeping in the park. People are bringing them charcoal and they are living in the shelters.
Several people have been staying overnight in the park near or in the shelter. On Wednesday night/thursday morning there was screaming at 2 am.
I am sensitive to the needs of the unhoused and the city needs to be doing much more to protect them and provide them safe living spaces, but it is frustrating to me that I cannot walk my dog in any of the parks near me (Bryan park, switchyard) without feeling unsafe because of homeless people yelling at and following me. Bryan park used to be a safe park.
