Seminary Park, 100 S W 2nd St, Bloomington, IN 47403, USA

The playground structures at this park are in really poor condition. The rubber surfacing is falling apart, and the equipment is quite degraded. It needs to be replaced. When is this playground scheduled for maintenance/ replacement?
The Winslow complex has one trash can available outside the softball/baseball fields and one small receptacle for dog waste. Soon the trash can will be pulled behind the locked fence as it is every winter. The small trash cans on the tennis courts were removed this year. We need more trash cans available outside the fields and year round at this complex. This issue keeps getting worse every year.
Social gathers > 15 people not allowed per mayor! 30-50 people there with no mask on 10/13. Also tons of trash, clothing, blankets, tents, etc abandoned in park.
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?
Pickleball nets at Switchyard parks are to high in the middle. Nets should be 36 in. on ends and 34 in. in the middle.When nets were taken down last time who ever did it probaply was not aware of this
Please remove the surveillance cameras. My family and I are extremely uncomfortable with them and avoid going to the park because of it. We would like to enjoy ourselves at the park but are unable to because of the excessive surveillance.
Broken stone marker by park bench in front of Shumard Oak I can send pictures if asked: jhershey@gmail.com
Lots of trash, clothing, blankets, etc littering entire park. Social gathers > 15 people. People staying there past open hrs. (People sleeping in park). Don’t understand why this can’t be fixed...been ongoing issue for years. Taxpayers pay to maintain parks. City puts rules/regulations on public parks. However city doesn’t do anything to enforce these rules/regulations or maintain the park!
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.
