Homeless people camping in shelters in building and trades park - complete with air mattress, blankets, sleeping bags, bags. Have gotten way to comfortable. I've called central dispatch/non emergency police and nothing seems to happen. Would like to see lights under shelters in the near future to inhibit this behavior. I am a resident on Howe and am getting tired of seeing this and being kept up at night.
Hi, please reopen the basketball hoopa at Building & Trades Park. I understand it is a small thing, and closing the hoops is done in the interest of public health, however basketball is something that can be done individually, or among persons sharing quarantine, with no risk of contamination of shared surfaces (as would be the case at the playgrounds for example). Seeing as outdoor activity was declared essential, it makes more sense to determine unsafe groupings that to preemptively punish responsible citizens trying to engage in recreation safely. Thanks for your consideration.
Gate needs adjusted. Drags on sidewalk
Please replace the shade structure top before next week's 100 degrees. It was bad enough not having it last week during 90 degree and full sun. Many families and summer camps rely on this playground and the picnic tables as their home base.
A homeless camp has been set up in the woods along the creek just off trail. Take the double wide trail from parking lot and go right or north on another double wide trail to the creek and camp will be visible.
There is a giant wasp hive at hole 14 of Karst Farm Park disc golf course. I was playing today with 3 other people when my disc hit the tree and dropped straight down and landed by the tree. Apparently it hit the tree near the hive and startled the wasps. Unfortunately we did not know there is a hive and wasn't paying attention. When we walked to my disc for the next throw, we were swarmed by the wasps and 3 of us got stung multiple time. This tree is almost directly in front of the tee box of hole 14 and is likely to get hit very often. I have highlighted the approximate location on the picture attached. This hive needs to be removed for everyone's safety, especially for those who are allergic to bee and wasp stings. Thank you.
On the east side of Rev. Butler park, a boardwalk-like section of the path has broken through or collapsed, leaving jagged edges.
The garbage can between the parking lot, the toddler playground, and the big playground is missing.
The large tree on the back corner of Peoples Park and Bicycle Garage' parking lot is dead and is shedding branches daily and large brancks during strong storms.On June 18, 2021 two large branches fell on my back parking lot. I removed them and cut them up for disposal. We have asked to have this tree removed many time I will ask again please remove this tree. It is dangerous for public safety.
A fitness organization called Bloomington United for Fitness is holding an exercise class in Olcott Park. I appreciate the need for outdoor space, however, they are using the paved trail for stationary exercises. Since these occur in one relatively narrow space, it is not possible to socially distance and because they are exercising, they are not wearing masks. Would it be possible to ask them to move to an area with more space in the park such as an open field not next to the path?
