A question about memorial trees. I just noticed this London plane tree planted not far from the stump of a sycamore. I am curious why a non-native tree was chosen, instead of a native sycamore. I urge you to plant native trees in our park and tree plots, for various reasons including avoiding a repeat of those Callery pears,adjacent to the tennis courts, planted and then cut down later when we learned better. There are so many Callery trees along the B-Line that, I assume, will have to be cut down and replaced
Ramp to the 5-12 playground is coming up.
The water fountain right by the Basket ball court is sticking on with water running
The wooden boardwalk is rotting in one place. The board is soft and flexs under weight. Someone could trip over it.
Following up on #184608: The rotted boards have completely given way. There is now a massive hole in the boardwalk.
Broken wooden bridge with tree limbs sticking out at Bryan Park central path
Two issues at the same place. At the crossing place along the creek east of the basketball courts and the nearby bridge. 1) a tree branch has cracked and bent on the west side of thst crossing 2) it's been a few years since the last "fix" for the crossing where the intermittent stream enters Sheridan Creek. The fix involved a culvert, concrete and gravel. That area has eroded again. I'd like to suggest replacing that with a small bridge. Thank you!
The trails in Bryan Park were not fully cleared of snow or salted after the major snow storm that happened a week ago. This has created hazardous icy conditions after some freeze/thaw cycles which makes walking and running there very difficult. The trails appear to have been plowed initial were but left 1-2" of snow that was never fully cleared and is now thawing partially during the warmer days and turning back to ice on the colder days.
There is glass by the lower Bryan park bench. Just wanted to let someone know!
