There was a large husky fighting with every dog in the Ferguson Dog Park today. Our two golden retrievers got attacked. I did not get info from the owner of the husky but he did nothing and was sitting under the shelter. Ridiculous. Also, there was a guy with a black or dark grey Toyota 4Runner with a brown and white colored hunting dog. He dragged the dog out of the back of the car by the collar and dangled it. He was dangling that poor dog like it was on a noose. He was hitting the dog and being abusive. We will not be back to this park ever. It makes me nauseous seeing some of the things that went on today. I know nothing will be done but I wanted this noted.

Hello, I'm the cookie mom for a local girl scout troop. We were wondering if we could set up a cookie booth up in one of the city parks. If it's allowed, I'm assuming we'd have to apply for permission. Will you let us know your policy? Thanks, Maria

The trees at Park Ridge Park have many dead branches. Dead branches are a serious hazard since they can fall off. They are right above the area where children play. This must be fixed immediately.

Hi, I'd like information about donating a memorial bench at the Winslow Sports Park. My dad recently passed away. He loved walking his basset hounds at the park, so we'd like to place a memorial bench for him there. How should we proceed? Thanks for your help.

First - thank you for how responsive the department has been to our observations about Park Ridge Park. We really appreciate it! Park Ridge has a density of plants in and around it and is a relatively small park. As such, the amount of debris that can accumulate on the park compared to its size is quite high. We have witnessed that this debris tends to remain over the winter and well into spring if it isn't removed. We have seen that this eventually causes problems as the debris prevents grass from overwintering well and regrowing in the spring. This leads to bare spots (especially since the park is pretty all sloped except for the build in structures) leading to erosion. The Parks Department has worked diligently to mitigate these erosion issues through sowing grass seed, putting down straw mats, etc. This has been effective at at least stopping the erosion. However, I wonder if these mitigation efforts will have to be repeated next spring given the amount of debris in park. I suggest removing the debris now to hopefully prevent future problems and accompanying efforts to fix those problems. Please let us know what you think and thanks again for your responsiveness and hard work at making Park Ridge and Bloomington a great place to live and work. Cheers, John
