Portapotty knocked over at dog park; wind today?
Portapotty knocked over at dog park; wind today?
The Ferguson Dog Park lot desperately needs to be cleared of snow. I believe more folks take their dogs out in cold weather than parents take their children out. It is in bad shape and very difficult to navigate. Other than that, we love this park!
At Butler Park 9th St. when sledding down the hill from the restroom/shelter area there is a tree in the middle of the run which creates a hazard. Many children have crashed into the tree. Please respond to discuss. Hoping for the tree to be removed.
You have severe bagworm infestations in your trees at Trades and G.Butler parks, I have studied entomology since I WAS 8,now 56-it correlates very well with career as critical care RN-they are vectors of many many diseases, These bagworms are going to take down your trees and also gardens at Butler, Look it up. I have taken many of them out-but you need serious arborist or botanist to adress problem. The naturalist, at Brown County may be able to help you PLEASE your parks are one of the best parts of Btown-don't let these insects get out of control, you will live to regret it when your trees start dying-Emerald Ash Borer ring any recent threats to forestry concern with your thought processes. I would be willing to help, but might be limited-depends on your attitude. Peace, love, love the parks and the people that frequent them, they are actually Bloomington's biggest asset
We need more gravel near the boat ramp at Griffy Lake. It is currently a large area of mud. thanks.
The water fountains along Jackson Creek Trail at the playground area were not functioning last night.
Water fountain issue - Sherwood Oaks Park, by tennis courts: Would it be possible to get the water fountain pressure adjusted so that the water flow is correct? Right now, the pressure is so low/insufficient, you literally would have to put your mouth over the spigot to get any water out of it. Thank you!
Hi, The water to both of the water taps at the Fergusan Dog park are turned off. They were working fine last week. Now withe the hot weather and rain these are used heavily and need to be fixed. Thanks, Dirk Fraser
My family was at Bryan Pool on Sunday afternoon at 2:00pm. After an hour of swimming the children were made to leave the pool for adult swim. Twenty minutes is a very long time for a child and since we could only stay for two hours it really limited our swimtime. I overheard comments from several adults that were also unaware of the adult swim rule. Additionally, two young children came in and unaware of your policy stepped into the pool only to be yelled at by the lifeguard. The girls were so embarrassed they ran to their mothers in tears. What is the puropse of this extended time out? There were only a handful of adults in the pool and most felt bad that their children couldn't join them.
My question is about the lack of mowing in the middle of Sherwood Oaks Park. Is the plan for this park to make the old football field into woods? The trees in there are several years old now and beginning to shade the "trail" around the park. Shoudn't someone bush-hog this part of the park? One of the things I have always enjoyed about this park is the black raspberries that grow on the western side of the old field. The new trees in the middle are starting to shade this area, and soon those berries will fade away, as they prefer "edges" with sun to the east of them. The same sort of thing is happening in Olcott park, so I am guessing that this is part of your plan, but if it is not a real plan, can someone come and cut all that brush down? Thanks! Kim
