Other: Hello, I've noticed a few things that need attention on some of our playgrounds while there with my toddler. 1) the gate to the small kids playground at Bryan Park has been broken for two weeks at least...my small daughter loves making the escape now. 2) more than once this month I've found dog poop on that same playground. 3) people without children have been loitering on the switchyard playground. Yesterday a man smoking a cigarette was playing fetch with his dog all over the equipment and people were driving motorized scooters through the playground. Another man was vaping. Between the tobacco use, unleashed dog, motorized scooters, and lingering adults without children I didn't feel safe letting my child roam and play freely there. I felt it would be best to bring these issues to your attention. Thank you for all you do! We really love visiting Bloomington's parks!

Greer, Thank you writing in. We do have staff in the park daily at Switchyard Park doing maintenance and cleaning work. When we find people on scooters or with their dogs in areas they should not be we do address it. Hsiung Marler
Thanks for making us aware of the issues at Bryan Park. We sent a maintenance crew that way today to check out the issues with the gate and they are working to make the necessary repair. Our custodial staff visits at least daily to check for cleanliness. Hsiung - could you respond to the SYP items?
