Swing broken at the southeast park playground
Swing broken at the southeast park playground
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.
There are currently no no-smoking signs in the Upper Cascades park. My wife and I were there with our 1 year old daughter last Monday or Tuesday, and were unable to use the swings as two childless adults were smoking on the swing set and declined to move. Can prominent signage be placed to indicate the park/park system is smoke free? I would also update the park rules to be more layman friendly, as they primarily reference federal, state, and city codes (found here https://bloomington.in.gov/documents/viewDocument.php?document_id=7722). Thank you.
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.
South East Park: 1 of the 2 Toddler Spring Toys is broken & missing pieces. I'm concerned about safety.
Dog water fountain water pressure is too low, and the base of the water fountain leaks. This is a along the clear Creek trail between Rockport and that Rd.
Two trees near sidewalk at SE Park on Arden Drive 00 - Montclair 00, one dead (some limbs have already fallen off) and the other tree near the speed zone sign appears to be dying.
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.
