The Banneker Center needs funding. Honor the Eagleson family for REAL. Not with a street sign. But by revitalizing the very community center they grew up in.

A board in the existing boardwalk across the middle of Bryan Park broke recently. I hope that can be fixed, maybe as part of the work on the perimeter path. Thanks. Related: the central asphalt path between Henderson and the restroom building often floods. When that freezes, it becomes hazardous to pedestrians.

I work for The Villages Healthy Families program. We are a non-profit child welfare agency. I am looking for a fee waiver for a room rental at Twin Lakes to host a free, public class on infant safe sleep education. The class takes between 30-45 minutes and attendees receive a pack n’ play at the conclusion. There are no income requirements for the class. Would the Parks Department be able to waive the fee for this class? I offer it throughout the county to make it more accessible for those with transportation barriers. Thanks for the consideration!

Lock on restroom door on trail at Leonard Springs Park is broken. I thought I was locked in but eventually the door opened after turning the lock around several times. It took awhile to open it and I was almost called 911. Very scary and claustrophobic.

Switchyard police station by the basketball courts. In the hallway outside the police station bathroom, there is a vent that is always blowing really hot air, like a heater. It just needs to be turned off for the summer. Thank you.

Please add foot pulls (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/StepNpull-Hands-Opener-Silver-1-Piece/dp/B008P5ULZ6) to the bathroom doors at your parks. Currently there are air hand dryers (which by the way spread germs - https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-bacterial-horror-of-the-hot-air-hand-dryer-2018051113823) and then you have to touch the door handle. Adding these foot pulls or something similar will help prevent spreading of germs and bacteria.

On June 26th, I took my daughter to Switchyard Park. We were playing in the Splash Pad some time between noon and 12:30 when I heard a man yell, “Fuck you, Karen!” I looked in the direction of the sound, toward the shelter nearest the Splash Pad (the one with the bathrooms attached). I saw a tall, skinny man in a neon “Parks” vest storming off away from a family with a young child. There were two other Parks employees sitting at a table under the same shelter and the man that stomped off went to light up a cigarette behind the shelter. While I did not witness the entire situation, I presume the woman asked him not to smoke under the shelter while everyone was eating lunch there and he got angry. It was hot that day, so I understand he wanted to be in the shade, but that is not an appropriate reaction. I ask that you please investigate the situation to find out what happened from your employees themselves, as I only witnessed the tail-end of the confrontation. Thank you.
