Considering the consistent degradation of wetlands and waterways that we see so often, it was really nice to see efforts to protect these habitats through the planting of a buffer of trees at Schmalz Farm Park. I am amazed by the number of trees planted and it's really exciting to think that Bloomington Parks is working to remediate a habitat.
Sorry I don't have a picture but the leaves on all the oak trees in the south side of the dog park are turning black and wilting. Are these trees going to die? Can they be treated? This are is also close to the city tree nursery which could be the source or next problem area.
In Bryan Park, ragweed along the edge of the stream that feeds Sheridan Creek. Please urge mowers to mow in a little further. It's a few inches tall now, but it can get to be 3 or more feet tall by August. (Sidebar: most of the area between the basketball courts and the picnic shelter would be like that too without mowing)
Someone removed the signs at Park Ridge Park on Longview Avenue that stated the equipment was closed. Caution tape has been removed from equipment too.
Newly planted trees should not be dug up at schmals farm park because one well connected citizen “didn’t like them”.
Are you going to take the wood on the bball hoops down now? Thank you!
There has been a fish kill in Jackson creek, just off the trail. The water is clouded, smells foul. Dead fish are all over the rocks.
The north set of tennis courts (grouping of three courts) had only one of four lights working at approximately 9:30pm on Tuesday evening. The north eastern most light fixture was on. The others were off on the court. These might need to be checked for either functionality of the bulbs or something or proper timing for on/off.
mural facing People's park was damaged. I own the Bicycle Garage business and building.
