The Griffy Dam parking area could still use a trash can and/or dog waste station. Lots of folks fish and walk their dogs here, but there is no place to dispose of old fishing line and dog waste. Last time I mentioned this they said they would reassess once the new trail was completed. I know it’s a bit out of the way but maybe the crew that maintains Ferguson dog park could swing by and collect it once a week? Thanks!
The water fountain at third street park is not draining. Also, some of the railings around the decorative fountain are loose at their bases.

Chain ladder on play structure is partially detached from the ground and is unsafe.
Please communicate more with parents regarding the status and schedule of the construction on the olcott park playground.
Hello, there is a tree down across the Bloomington Rail Trail about 100-150 yards south of the 1/2 mile marker (coming from the Country Club tarilhead). Thank you.
The Ferguson dog park has two MASSIVE holes in the large dog fenced in area. They get extremely muddy anytime it even drizzles & whether it is dry or wet it is a hazard. I have tripped into one and sprained my ankle because of them. Someone put a ply board plank on one of them but my dog has gotten splinters in his paws because of it, plus I’ve seen dogs chew at it. These holes NEED TO BE FILLED with dirt or gravel. It’s been this way for OVER A YEAR.
Poop in the dogpark. Several months ago both the supply of bags and the container for used bags were moved from within the dog fields themselves to an area within the double gate entry area. Perhaps this was an attempt at efficency but it has had a sigificanlty adverse affect on the conditions in the park itself with much more poop being left on the ground and more full bags being left scattered around the park. Yesterday I picked up 11 full bags left out in the field and this is not uncommon. Both the bags and the refuse containers need to be returned to their original spots to turn this trend around. This is a great park, let's keep it that way. Thank you, please let me know how you are proceeding. Thanks, Dirk Fraser
There is a parasite going around at the Ferguson Dog park. I know of a dog that has contracted Giardia over 6 times. Someone needs to post signage around the park to let people know the dangers of not picking up after their dogs and more poop stations with more bags so we can make it easier to hold the pet parents accountable. I have tried to tell other dog owners to pick up after their pets but it has not succeeded. Please do something because pet parents like me can't take out dogs while there is an issue like this. A friend and I have even gone to the length of going throughout the park and cleaning up the entire thing. However it has not stayed that way. Please do something so not other dogs have to get sick and potentially die.
Workout station in Bryan Park. Police tape was taken down & 3 people were using equipment. Is this a police matter during social distancing?
