uReport

City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #163397

Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: A vehicle drove through park of Park Ridge Park. The ground was apparently quite wet so the area of the park where the vehicle drove is quite damaged. The damaged location is the part of the park immediately adjacent to the Polly Grimshaw Trail and it needs some attention prior to the season starting in earnest to prevent further damage in that area from erosion on the now exposed ground. Also, some one dug out the the ground and mulch underneath one of the park swings significantly enough that there is quite a pit underneath the western swing and that area needs repair. As a somewhat different note which is more just routine maintenance, a plank on the wooden fence next to the trail head has come loose and fallen (on the northern part of the fence). Also, the leaves from the oak trees have not been removed or otherwise been blown away over winter. Previously this situation has lead to a lack of grass leading to significant erosion and damage to the park terrain. I am guessing the leaves should probably be removed soon, ideally in the fall. Last season, the parks team worked hard to mitigate this issue and it would be a pity to see hard work washed so to speak. On that note, I would like to thank the parks maintenance team for the quick responses to previous requests and concerns that have been made about this park and trail. Thanks a lot! I was really impressed with how easy the whole team was to work with as well as how responsive everyone was to the needs of both the park and the neighborhood. Thanks again!

Update on the uReport on Park Ridge Park: The fence has been fixed and fybar has been added and spread out under the swings. The area where someone drove their vehicle into the park will be seeding with straw cover to repair the turf on March 8th. The leaves will be taken care of when the mowing crew returns in a couple of weeks.
