I was at switchyard park playing pickleball with a my children, ages 4 and 7, on Friday evening. Those experiencing homelessness were congregated on the north benches. Hot coffee carafes had been put out, and a constant strong smell of tobacco smoke was present. The smoke smell was overpowering and caused us to leave the park.

I would like to know more about how the COVID restrictions apply to the parks, specifically the gathering restrictions. For example, if a group of 15-20 people independently show up to the park masked and distanced to engage in a sport or other active outdoor activity, is that in violation of the City of Bloomington order?

My wife and I took our kids to explore Switchyard Park one morning last month (3/27). We were excited to see the new development. And it really is wonderful, but...we found homeless people drinking in the play areas, one passed out on a bench, and vomit on the B-line trail (around the area of the Warehouse). It didn't feel like a safe place for kids. At the corner of B-line/Grimes, there's a small police station, and the area in front of it was strewn with trash and bottles, and with a person passed out on top of the picnic table. I guess this police building might not have any police inside. This is a serious problem. I would not let my kids go there by themselves. Is this issue on your agenda? Thanks for all you do.

The swings at Building & Trade Park are very squeaky and could use some WD-40. Thank you!

There have been numerous reports that the east side old Kmart will become more dreaded apartments instead of a planned development or condos for ownership. Please consider Parks’ role in this area; your master plan wants to increase park land/greenspace per resident on the east side. I believe us tax payers and permanent residents of Bloomington would support a conversion of an eyesore into a greenspace with potential to have more markets (as they are occurring in this area as competition already) and programming.
