closed: Resolved #180843

Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: This is supposed to be a city park built for parents to take their children to be kids and have fun. I took my niece to the park the other day and found pills in one of the tunnels, needles in the bathroom and on the play area, powder on the ground in the water area (which the drugged up homeless said their buddy spilt his meth there). Then I found out that they are allowed to camp there. There are plenty of places for them to sleep and leave their remnants that isn’t in the path of innocent children. You’ve been mayor since 2016 and you know the homeless has become a bigger problem every year. We can’t go to a park in Bloomington without someone drugged up and laying across the tables, walking around cussing and threatening anyone walking by. Homeless at every stoplight claiming to be veterans. The parks are the worse and I will make sure that everyone hears what is going on at the parks and our Mayor is allowing this to go on. My comments involve the parks, restroom, picnic areas, playgrounds and water areas.

Sorry to hear of your negative experience. While parks are open to everyone during operating hours, City property, including Parks, is not open to camping. We have hired regular security patrols that monitor Switchyard Park and the B-Line throughout the day. Please feel free to flag them down, or a staff member, if you have a concern or find an issue. You can of course always call the Parks office during business hours or place a call to BPD if there is an immediate safety issue. We will continue to work to provide safe parks for all. Thanks.
