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.

There are frequently creepy older men hanging around the Upper Cascades Park and Playground area. The same vehicles are often seen, with the occupants hanging around, then acting shifty and walking into the woods when another car approaches and that occupant also walks into the woods. The individuals then exit the woods at or close to the same time. Sometimes, the cars just park next to each other briefly and then leave. Then the "regular" car returns and waits for another vehicle to approach. Taken all together, it looks like drug deals going down on the regular. There is also litter all over the walking path in the woods and the Lions' Den picnic shelter.

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.

Good morning. I have a memorial scheduled at the Sycamore Shelter at Cascades Park this Saturday. I'd like to Zoom the event for folks who can't attend, and I'm just wondering if there's internet access out there. It would be easier to do it over the internet, rather than to use my phone. Could you advise?

I really like the dog park at Switchyard, but it could use water for dogs to drink in addition to hosing stations for dogs that get dirty. It is pretty standard for fog parks to have these amenities. Unfortunately, it makes it quite difficult to visit the park without them. The park is really great otherwise, but this small addition would help greatly. Thank you!

Are there plans to turn back on the city park water fountains any time soon? Not having access to drinking water is a real hindrance for runners.
