There is a tree across the Renwick trail right around the curve as you come from the Sare Road side. Fortunately, I saw it soon enough as I rounded the bend on my bike, but some may not.
I'm relatively new to Bloomington, and am glad you have a dog park here! I would certainly love to clean up after my dogs, but with the grass so high, I can't find their deposits. Will the grass be cut soon? Also, while I'm here, I'll ask this - are there any plans to add a shelter to the small dog and agility sections? Maybe one straddling both, and with a cover a bit more generous than the one on the big dog side? Thanks!
The loose ladder on the Olcott Park playground is no longer attached to ground. It looks like the S hooks have been pulled out of the ground attachments and need to be put back in. No one used it while we were there, but it looks like it could be a hazard if someone uses it without realizing it's no longer sturdy. Thanks!
We would like to know which fields the ladies college teams play at as we are coming to see our daughter for a Mar.18-20 tournament.
The largest section in Ferguson dog park has many puddles that fill in when it rains, one of which is almost always full and is very deep. The puddles get very muddy, and when the water is turned off for winter, there is no way to prevent dogs from getting in the puddle and then no way to clean them off. It would be beneficial, I believe, to fill in these holes with dirt of gravel so this would no longer be an issue. Thanks for considering!
Regarding Building and Trades Park: The steps leading from the upper level to the playing fields are in bad repair and need to be leveled. Even more important, older citizens such as my husband and Regarding Building and Trades Park: The steps leading from the upper part of the park to the playing field, dog walking area, etc., are in bad repair. In addition to problems with the steps themselves, a hand rail (simple pipe construction would be perfectly adequate) is needed, especially for little ones and most older park users.

There are currently no no-smoking signs in the Upper Cascades park. My wife and I were there with our 1 year old daughter last Monday or Tuesday, and were unable to use the swings as two childless adults were smoking on the swing set and declined to move. Can prominent signage be placed to indicate the park/park system is smoke free? I would also update the park rules to be more layman friendly, as they primarily reference federal, state, and city codes (found here https://bloomington.in.gov/documents/viewDocument.php?document_id=7722). Thank you.
The bridge at the playground at the Winslow Sports Plex needs one more bar added to either side. I have seen multiple kids fall or slide through the bottom gap. A week ago, my daughter fell and broke her arm through this same gap. One extra bar on either side would prevent many injuries.
