We frequently walk the loop trail at Winslow park and it is becoming way too overgrown around the forested area on the East side of the park. The weeds grow over the trail at least a foot on each side of the trail, making the path single lane and very obstructed. Not to mention with the recent incident that happened at this park, it would be much safer to not have so much overgrowth around this area of the trail. I understand the environmentally friendly effort of letting some of it grow naturally like it is done at the Jackson Creek / Goat Farm trail, but at that trail there is still a buffer where it is mowed directly along the trail so it doesn't grow over the actual paved area. Please mow/cut this area off the trail so the full paved area can be safely walked upon. Thanks

My wife was meeting a friend to run near the BBC on Dunn St. at 7:30am this sunday and reported that she observed an individual in the park urinating in the parking lot, people possibly sleeping overnight in the adjoining parking lot and then interacting with the park occupants, a pile of vomit in the lot, and individuals emptying trash from their vehicle onto the ground. All of these actions appear to be associated with the lack of bathroom facilities and security enforcement in and around Peoples Park. I can appreciate how difficult these situations could be but to have trash, human waste, and conspicuous disregard for the facilities and rule of law is frustrating. My hopes are that this can become part of your record to try and help build a critical mass of complaints to solve this ongoing problem for all residents, ensure public health and improve public safety. We love the parks but as it stands now there are 2 parks (Seminary and Peoples) I wouldn't dare venture into with my children or even feel comfortable in by myself and that does not seem fair that one population, albeit a struggling one, is able to abscond with something intended for everyone. Solutions are out there and I hope registering a complaint can help add support to any ongoing efforts to make resolving these situations possible.

Hi Park & Recs team! I wanted to file a complaint regarding trash from the softball teams that play at the Twin Lakes ball field. I live in the apartments behind those woods and often walk through that area. I think having the teams play there is great and I love watching them! However, after a night of playing the park is completely trashed with beer cars/boxes, wrappers and fast food bags. I love that they are having such a good time when they play but there are trash cans on the property that they are clearly not using and just basically making the area dirty for the rest of us. The picture attached is just a small amount I saw this morning, let alone the many other times throughout the summer that this has happened in and around the parking lot as well as the trails. Could we provide more trash cans for them? Or perhaps talk to the team captains about making an announcement. If that doesn't work and they can't clean up after themselves maybe sending a patrol officer to assist with cracking down on the tailgating. I would imagine it's illegal to drink alcohol in a public park but I'm not positive on the laws. Thanks so much for your help!

I don't like th enew pool pass system. I lost mine, and quite a bit of money as a result. Please go back to keeping them at the pool, or make them electronic somehow.

The website states there is a sand volleyball court at the Southeast Park. I went there yesterday and couldn't find it. Can you send me a picture and/or the location of the court. And can you provide me with a current list of volleyball courts in Bloomington. Thanks.

There is a dead deer inside the SW baseball field (the one closest to Winslow and S. Highland). It is in far left field, near the fence. Maybe it jumped the fence and didn't make it. It probably should be removed ASAP.

The lights on the tennis courts at Bryan Park do not seem to be working, and when I went tonight to play at 9pm I also saw that one of the large bulbs from one of the lights had fallen and shattered on the ground. Can you please let me know when/if the lights will be in working condition tomorrow night? I would like to take advantage of the tennis courts in the evenings. Thanks so much!
