On the evening of Tuesday, May 24, I was at Ferguson Dog Park with my leashed dog, Duke, and my friend had her dog (also on a leash). As soon as we entered the park another dog immediately became aggressive and repeatedly attempted to bite my dog and my friend's dog. At one point this dog had one of our dogs on the ground, on top of it. The owner very casually and unconcerned strolled over and grabbed his dog and said, "Now don't do that." This dog continued to be aggressive to other dogs present, even biting and drawing blood on another dog. It was that altercation where other people had to separate the dogs because the owner just sat there and finally got up to get his aggressive dog. The owner did nothing to stop his dog from this atrocious behavior. This owner and his dog are a liability and god forbid a child or any human gets bitten by this dog. I do not have a name or license plate number because I did not feel i could safely obtain that information. I do have a picture of the man and woman and dog.

I am concerned about the health of the large old sycamore tree in Rev. Butler Park, at the intersection of W. 9th and N. Maple Streets. This magnificent tree, known locally as "the 9th Street Sycamore," is losing its new leaves, which lie shriveled in the streets and gutters around the intersection. The leaves that are still on the tree appear pale, small, and weak/limp, ready to fall shortly themselves. I live across from this tree and have NEVER seen it look unhealthy until this season. Please have a specialist evaluate this important landmark.

I think the Bryan park basketball courts need to be re done and have more lights added to them to make it a better experience

Why is there a patch of dirt in front of the performance stage at the park behind the police station? Can't it be seeded?

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!

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 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.

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.
