Hi, I was with my daughter at the Southeast Park playground today and noticed an unusual plant near the swings and hobby horses with a tiny tomato-like fruit. My plant app identified it as Carolina horse nettle, which is a member of the nightshade family and is poisonous. I pulled and discarded all the plants I saw in the area with berries, but I am concerned that this plant is present on a playground and wanted to alert you. The berries look a lot like tiny tomatoes or globe eggplant and would appear edible to many. Thanks for your time!

I would like to suggest adding more no-mow areas to Bryan Park, specifically around all trees (to protect them), along the North boundary (several feet in depth) and extending the no-mow area along the creek tributary which runs North West-South East and feeds into the main creek. It would be very helpful to all wildlife, particularly birds and insects. I'd be happy to talk to someone about this idea. Also reduce the number of times the park is mowed (maybe it could just be every other week?) and stop using leaf blowers!

Switchyard Park is wonderful! Kudos to Parks & Rec.
Two suggestions:
1 - Please install umbrella holders (or umbrella holders + umbrellas, but I recognize there could be more of a theft issue)at the wooden 'bleachers' at the pickle ball courts.
2) For both dog parks at Switchyard, erect shaded areas perhaps similar to the Ferguson dog park. Suggest two or three areas per dog enclosure. This could be esp. crucial for helping maintaining dog health during summer months.
Also, install water hoses to clean dirt from paws + coat when play is over.
Thank you for considering!

Just want to suggest that when the crews are cleaning up the landscaping on Sayre RD in the median, they close the left lanes.
They are too close to the road working on the median. Someone is going to get hurt.

Near the workout equipment on the northwest corner of the Bryan Park there is a hole (see picture). Someone put a metal "donut" over it to warn passersby. Seen Monday morning around 8. Your map location feature is harder to use it used to be.

I'm so excited to have a lovely patch of trees by the creek. This will be a nice addition to a wonderful spot. This is a great improvement and happy this is being preserved. Thank you!!

Considering the consistent degradation of wetlands and waterways that we see so often, it was really nice to see efforts to protect these habitats through the planting of a buffer of trees at Schmalz Farm Park. I am amazed by the number of trees planted and it's really exciting to think that Bloomington Parks is working to remediate a habitat.
