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

People park. This park is over run by homeless. It is not useable by others. More disturbing is seeing someone shooting up in evening when walking with family on Kirkwood. This is an unsafe environment. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hi, I have a request regarding the tennis court lights at Winslow sports park. Currently they come on some time between 8:15 and 8:30 pm. This leaves bit of a lag between dark and the lights coming on. Can you please change the time the lights come on so that this lag is eliminated? Also, last year the lights stopped around the end of October. Since it is good weather for outdoor tennis till mid-December, will it be possible to extend the days for tennis court lighting? Thanks! - Bipin

I was not sure to whom I should send this e-mail; but this was the address listed on Bloomington's Parks and Recreation website. The local park in my neighborhood, Park Ridge Park, is in need of some new equipment. I know it is hard to get funding and that our park is small but it is right near the apartments and there are a great number of kids and young adults who frequent the park. Our neighborhood would be proud to call Park Ridge Park our "home" park but not in the state that it is in. The main problem is with the basketball goals. They are badly rusted (the poles as well as the backboards) and one goal has a net that is cut up and dangling halfway off. Basically, this section of the park is an eyesore. It has seen a lot of use over the years but if we could get funding to have these replaced that would be super! Thank you.

I set up a slackline (a sort of portable tightrope) on the basketball goals at upper cascades park yesterday, january 11th in the afternoon. upon examination of my slack line setup, I realized i had set up the line wrong, in such a way that the only way it could be removed is to be cut. I had mulled over my decisions in this situation and decided to return the next day with a knife in order to cut the line down. I arrived today at around 4:00pm and discovered my slack line had been taken down and was nowhere in sight. I asked a few of the skaters who were nearby if they had seen anything. I got stories from two separate individuals stating that an older, bald/balding, man wearing a white tshirt and or black jacket. i would like to know if the man mentioned was a parks employee, or if it was just some guy who stole my 150$ slack line. a speedy response would be greatly appreciated as if it wasn't a parks employee, i will be contacting the police.

Good morning. I have a couple questions on the dog park. How high is the fence? I know that it says that we should unleash the dogs as soon as we get in through the gate but what if we have a new dog that we are not too confident in their recall just yet? Can I keep her on a long lead for some, if not all, of the time? Thanks. Matt Crouse

Good morning! I just want to be sure you are aware that one of the courts here is still unusable. The net that has been up all winter is still fine. The net that was just re-installed a couple of weeks ago has collapsed. With the warmer weather, these courts get a lot of use and I know a bunch of us would be delighted to have both courts in play. Thanks!
