Trails:

Other: I often walk my dog on the trail. About every afternoon the Lighthouse Christian School has a large group of kids running on the trail. They seem to take over the trail. I was just wanting to know if every school in Bloomington did this who would the trail belong to? The public for walking, ect. or to the schools? Seems to me that if you let one school all of them could take advantage of this. I do not like to be walking and have to step aside for a group of jogging kids!

e-mailed 3/11/14 All City Parks and Trails are public facilities and are open for public use, whether by individuals or groups. No school or organization has been given special permission for exclusive use of any park or trail, such as for a race or run, that would prohibit or interfere with the public's right to access and use our facilities. This is the first complaint that we have received, but we will mention the concern to staff at Lighthouse Christian Academy. Our trails are designed for multi-use and accommodate many different types of recreational users. Thankfully, user conflicts have been rare. Thank you very much for bringing the matter to our attention. Respectfully, Dave Williams Operations Director Bloomington Parks and Recreation
