I would like to complain about all of the rain outs at the Winslow baseball fields when there is no active rain. Games are being canceled by the city when the Smithville and Ellettsville leagues are still playing games. Both other leagues have people on the field clearing water and putting down quick dry every day while it appears very little effort is given to clearing water from the Winslow fields. Having city employees work on the fields or allowing volunteers to do so would make a big difference.
It seems the baseball fields either do not have proper drainage or are not given any sort of priority or care after it rains in an attempt to make the playable for youth baseball leagues. We have had more games canceled in the recent weeks than we have played. All while other local fields in town continue to be able to successfully get theirs ready and play.
I completely understand that weather is no one‘s fault, but we need to find a way to protect the Winslow baseball fields from rain. My family and many others have paid for the Bloomington junior league baseball Association season and we are now going on the third consecutive night of canceled games. Only field three appears to have standing water. Can you all please work to find a solution to maybe cover or tarp the infield so they do not get waterlogged and the games can be played. Thank you for your consideration.
Games canceled again tonight even though there has been no rain in 36 hours. There were no attempts to work on them yesterday to remove water so they could have a chance to dry out today.
Waterfountain leaking from under the dog watering section. Not sure if it is a drain issue or source issue
There are two Ash trees, both dead, with branches falling, may soon fall over on my lot. Could I get these taken out?
The tennis courts on Moore’s Pike by the Renwick trail are missing a net. It needs to be replaced ASAP as this is an active court that gets used regularly
The homeless camp that lives on the pickle ball courts are smoking and their stuff is over a large portion of the out of bounds section, along with their bikes. The pickle ball courts are for playing pickle ball, and I'm getting tired of having to navigate their stuff.
I was playing disc golf on the Rogers-Binford disc golf course on July 10 and ran into mountain bikers who are converting the southeast corner of Rogers-Binford property into a mountain bike course. They've trampled several new paths through the foliage and created jumps and berms along the public path for the disc golf course. I'm concerned that mountain biking and jumping and disc golf don't necessarily go together. Is mountain biking and jumping on Rogers-Binford property a city installation? Are pedestrians and disc golf players still allowed in the area? Thank you for your response.
