Repeated complaints about Seminary Park, most recent #172269 submitted 4/20/20. This park is a very shameful example of how our city is handling (not handling) the homeless/drug population. The mayor should be ashamed of what message it sends that the issue continues with everyone looking the other way. This is a major north/south & east/west travel point. DAILY I have to deal with this as a working citizen of Bloomington at the Post Office. I know that you know the issues because I call the police at least once/week. Daily, besides the usual littering the park and Post Office parking lot (including mattresses, office desk chairs, tables, etc.) there is suspicious traffic in & out of that park via the Post Office parking lot. Within the past month we have had 5 different instances where someone backed up against the outside of our building to relieve him/herself of #2, then proceeded to smear it all up the wall. Today I witnessed a man walk behind the post office to a little white truck that is there daily with no plates. He handed that person something, then waved and walked away. Several people came from the park up to his window, went back in the park, then came back to the truck. Didn't appear to be just chit-chat. A transaction had been made for sure. And, what about a few Fridays ago when someone provided the park a nice big bbq complete with a huge grill that was brought in. Are grills and full-sized tents allowed to be brought into a city park?? They were there that day! This brought a huge crowd filling that park and creating a big scene. They trashed the park, the Post Office parking lot, and the area in front of the Post Office by the street. Both our custodian and your city employees are using a lot of resources & money to clean up after that population. Mayor Hamilton, you out to be ashamed of our city right now! This is not the Bloomington it used to be and you're looking the other way. I do not feel safe going to my job to make a decent living because I have been approached by these people and our customers have been approached. When election time rolls around again I will be paying very close attention to which candidate has plans to clean up our city.

Cascades Park parking is incredibly confusing. Tried to approach from south but said detour and didn't direct anywhere. Half hour later found through the golf course in the north. Closing to through traffic is fine but should at least be able to get to a parking lot from the south before a road close. It should said closed to through traffic on south instead. And then road closed after a lot. Major deterrent to use of park.

Our neighborhood park is almost constantly being now used by a guy giving tennis lessons to folks who don't live near. Is that allowed? Maybe it is but is a bummer he makes money while we can't use them. Not sure what the solution that is best

On west side of Winslow sports park by the old batting cages on the east side of the paved path, there is a 2’ x 2’ hole. In the attached pic, it’s in the yellow circle. About 5’ off the path. Hard to see. Very dangerous. I almost rode my bike into it. Needs to be filled.
