The drinking fountain by the playground in Southeast park seems not to drain properly - all the water pours out underneath the bowl.

The plants alongside the trail at Butler Park just West of the bridge are so overgrown as to inhibit use of the path. I suggest they be trimmed back.
People are again living in the shelters at Butler Park. Not only are they preventing others from using the facilities but they are leaving trash, clothing, and other messes when they do leave.
People driving off road vehicles on Jackson creek trail, driving on,the basketball court, driving on the playground a 6pm in the evening with people playing basketball, little kids on the play ground and users on the trail. The also drove them in the grass through the butterfly area trails. Black Nissan truck with trailer two off road vehicles. Guess you need a sign what would seem to be obviously irresponsible. It was a family with 2 adults and two, maybe three kids.
A water fountain has become stuck, unusable in current state.
Your online reservation system for parks is flawed. https://webtrac.bloomington.in.gov/wbwsc/webtrac.wsc/search.html When I search for Winslow Woods Shelter for 9/21/2019 with starting time 8am, I get a result of "Unavailable." If I change the starting time to 12am, I get a result of "6am-11am Available." This is clearly incorrect behavior and has caused us continued confusion starting at least since Fall 2018. This should be a high priority item for fixing, since it makes the reservation system very unreliable.
The young kids playground at Bryan Park has some dangerously large gaps in the ground cover surface. This is the park in the north west corner along Henderson. See the included photo. These gaps are wide enough and deep enough for a size 11 adult male shoe to get tripped up in, let alone a child running and having fun. This needs fixed.

uReport Case #168317: I got a follow up email today about the hole I reported. Thanks to the long period of heavy rainfall, I think I have discovered what is responsible for the holes---burrowing crawdads. So, I still think the holes are dangerous BUT maybe there is no point in filling them.
