Physical safety issues on playground at Switchyard Park. There are large sharp-edged rocks next to the two concrete slides separated by slippery artificial grass. I watched as small children tried to climb these rocks with no railings to hold on to, or as they tried to go up the grassy area next to the rocks and slides. This is a disaster waiting to happen! I was alarmed that a child was going to fall off the rocks or onto the sharp edges. I saw several children bump their heads on the concrete edge of the slides as they landed hard. Both of these issues need immediate attention. There needs to be a padding strip on the slides at the bottom. The large sharp-edged rocks need to be removed and steps with a railing installed on both sides of the slides.

LARGE DOG PARK: While drainage has been added and temporary fencing put in, one section of fencing (the smaller one) does not encompass all of the water problem. The last time we brought our dog here she ran into the mud puddles (multiple times) and drank the water, which has previously made her sick. We will not go back until we hear it has been fixed completely.

This is supposed to be a city park built for parents to take their children to be kids and have fun. I took my niece to the park the other day and found pills in one of the tunnels, needles in the bathroom and on the play area, powder on the ground in the water area (which the drugged up homeless said their buddy spilt his meth there). Then I found out that they are allowed to camp there. There are plenty of places for them to sleep and leave their remnants that isn’t in the path of innocent children. You’ve been mayor since 2016 and you know the homeless has become a bigger problem every year. We can’t go to a park in Bloomington without someone drugged up and laying across the tables, walking around cussing and threatening anyone walking by. Homeless at every stoplight claiming to be veterans. The parks are the worse and I will make sure that everyone hears what is going on at the parks and our Mayor is allowing this to go on. My comments involve the parks, restroom, picnic areas, playgrounds and water areas.

The gate pin and hinge is made so you can't swing through. The pin is almost out and it won't fit back in. Needs repaired.

You closed my previous report, but now you have more campers here today than when I originally reported. And you have a camper that is camping on the side of the road

On 6/30/20 at about 9:00pm I noticed a group of people skateboarding on the stage structure at Switchyard Park. Normally I probably wouldn't mind or notice, but being brand new, I figured Parks & Rec would want to be aware to try to prevent it from becoming common.

There is a tree branch from a tree that is located along the back tree line in the park that touches our roof when the wind blows. It will damage our roof which will be costly. Could someone please trim off the branch? As far as a date, ASAP would be great! Thank you.

Hi! I’m wondering why fencing is up all around the splash pad. It’s forcing everyone into the same small area to enter, which seems like the opposite of what we want people doing right now to reduce the chance of virus spread.
