The chair swings on the south side of the Switchyard Park playground are so squeaky you really can’t enjoy them or have a conversation

Wood chips all over the playground. The section near the rules sign is always muddy and flooded. Please fix.
It seems like every trail at Bryan Park that is near a tree or a bush needs to be trimmed. The trail that goes through the middle of the park and the section of trail on the north side of the tennis courts are the worst. You have to duck and dodge to get around. Bushes and trees or encroaching on the trail from the sides and then tree branches are hanging down creating hazards to hit your head on whether you're walking or biking. The parks department needs to go around the entire park and trim everything. It's a mess.
The sign for the Woodlawn shelter has a piece of board that has come off the signpost. The board is currently leaning against the sign. It's an interior trim board that needs to be put back on or replaced.
I noticed last night that the Northeast corner of the tennis courts at Bryan Park has a light that is facing to the north. It's very bright and shines right into traffic headed south on Woodlawn. I'm not sure if it got rotated in a wind event or something, but it might need to be turned back towards the courts.
Dead limbs piled beneath the 9th St sycamore tree need removal. They've been there for weeks, if not months. This is my 2nd report of this issue.
Water fountain at Ferguson running constantly. Messed with buttons and unable to get water to stop running.
In the parking lot and around the pickleball courts you have Johnson grass growing taller than me and I'm 5'2 that's going to seed. This is a very invasive weed and needs to be pulled and the seeds thrown away as soon as possible or you'll be fighting it for the next 20 years. I pulled some tassels from around the courts, but it's also near the parking in the shade on the end of the pickleball courts close to the basketball courts.
The 3 large swings for parents to sit on at the South end of the Switchyard playground. Please fix them so they don't squeak or moan when someone is swinging. I live in the mobile home park just west of the playground, and I love hearing the sounds of the park. Except for those darn swings moaning and squealing! Can you please engineer something to stop them from making noise? Thank you!
The sidewalk at the north end of the tennis court in the southeast park has a large area filled with mud that is difficult for pedestrians to cross. It needs to be cleared and the drainage corrected.
