Hello there,
My name is Yuzhen, and I live in Kensington park. We have been enjoying the Schmalz Farm Park in the neighborhood. My son loved to play in the playground in the park. He is a big kid now, and he likes sport more. So do his friends in the neighborhood! It seems to me that most of the parks in Bloomington have some kind of sports facility (neat!). I wonder if the city has any plan for building sports facility in the Schmalz Farm Park (a basketball court would be lovely, but any kind of sports facility will be great:)).
Thanks much for your consideration.
Best,
Yuzhen Ye

At the Ferguson Dog Park there is a large puddle the size of a large bathtub located near the shade shelter. At the moment it is full of green water, after a week or so it becomes a mud wallow with mud the consistency of glue. This feature never dries out and remains a continuing dog magnet. Even with the hose it is not easy to clean them up after they roll in it. A pickup load of gravel or wood chips would be greatly appreciated by many dog owners. Thanks(it is a great park for the dogs!)

There are some very large holes on the north side, but almost centered on the large playing field. They are hidden from sight by the grass growing over them, but some are big enough for a foot/leg to fall into (as it happened today!) I assume an animal is busy digging these, but I know the city has filled them before, it would be great if someone could fill them again!
Thanks so much!

Last year after the city paved the small area where the picnic table are located at Ferguson Dog Park, it created a run off area that has since turned into a permanent mud/dog pee pit. All dog owners try to keep their dogs out of it because of how gross it is. It's not very big and could easily be filled with a wheelbarrow full of gravel. Can you please fix this so people can enjoy the park more? Thanks so much!

Our Toyota Sienna mini-van broke down in Olcott Park this morning (Sunday, September 7). It took us several hours to determine that it is the water pump, and the van isn't worth fixing. We will make arrangements for it to be towed tomorrow morning, but are hoping to avoid a ticket for having it parked there overnight. Hope this is ok! We will also report the stranded vehicle to the police. Sincerely, Emily Nehus & Scott Grieb, 602 E. Maxwell, Bloomington IN 47401

I believe the city planned to improve the trails in Winslow Park. All the summer rain has washed out the running and biking trail on the east end of the park and it is a mix of deep ruts, sand and gravel and a hazard, especially for people on foot or on bike descending from the hill between the tennis courts and the YMCA. Is repairing those trails still in the works? If not, could the city just re-gravel them so the ruts are not so deep? Thank you

At Cascades Park, one of the toad stool features at the playground is broken and I saw two children fall when trying to stand on it, both were injured and cried.
