A tree has fallen over the sidewalk near the bridge
We found another used syringe at the playground next to the swings this afternoon. Luckily, we saw it just before our son stepped on/over it. We disposed of it in the garbage can. Just thought we’d report this issue as we seem to be seeing more of them.
The connector trail between the B-Line and Butler Park could use some lighting such as lampposts and/or sconces on the bridge. It would cost some money but it should be possible to tap power from the utility post and light at the end of the trail in Butler Park itself. It gets very dark there at night and some more lighting could go a long ways towards improving safety in this heavily trafficked area.
The grey faux-rock climbing feature at the playground has feces smeared on it. I do not know if Parks maintenance has the appropriate tools to wash it off and dispose of it, but if you do it would be great if you could clean it up. (I try to clean up things I see at the park, but this is beyond my abilities!) The attached photo shows the climbing feature, but doesn't really show the feces.

Large tree fell into the Butler Park baseball diamond and destroyed a portion of the fence
We were at the park Tuesday morning July 4th for a morning walk. We entered by the community garden and walked down the paved path to the BLine trail. We observed 4 transients in the area and camping out in both pavilions. It was fairly early and it appeared they had slept in the park. Is this a common problem?? We are seniors and visit a lot of city parks regularly but are having concerns with safety. So much brushy areas also around paths. The men didn’t approach us and did keep to themselves.
