Hello, there is a tree down across the Bloomington Rail Trail about 100-150 yards south of the 1/2 mile marker (coming from the Country Club tarilhead). Thank you.
Asking permission to establish a small perenial planting area at the base of the Park Ridge park sign on the corner. I and some neighbors wish to plant a small area to add to the park beauty. We plan to plant perennials so they may flower through the warmer seasons. This will be maintained by there Invasive removal team members, I am a member and have completed the volunteers orientation. We will also loop in our recently appointed Park Ambassador. We will use plants from our own yards. We might add a small stone border but make it low to not impede lawn mowing activity. I will not proceed until I receive your permission.
Southeast Park has ground nesting bees living under the benches surrounding the playground. Please Take care to remove before someone gets stung bad
We could use a trash receptacle or combo trash/recycling on the dam side of Griffy Lake. This area gets quite a bit of usage during the warm months and I find a lot of bottles and cans, fishing materials, and dog waste in the area. Since the area is already being mowed on a regular basis, I would imagine it would be fairly easy for the crew to empty the bin at the same time.
Tree on north side of Bryan Park, just north of the asphalt path. Misidentified as Ohio Buckeye (Aesculus glabra). It is red horse chestnut (Aesculus x carnea). Buckeye (Aesculus glabra) has pale yellowish flowers. Red buckeye (Aesculus pavia) has bright red flowers. Red horse-chestnut (Aesculus x carnea) has (bright) pink flowers.
A Park’s personnel was using a leaf blower on the Pickleball courts at 8:30 in the morning. She spent 15 minutes on each court with people playing pickle ball. Felt like this was way too long to spend on each court. The noise was incredibly loud for us trying to play And the courts did not look like they needed a meticulous cleaning . Thanks
Yesterday while hiking in the woods at RCA Park with my grandchildren There was a tent pitched back in the woods. Today in the same place the tent was gone but belongings including a backpack and shirt were there. There was also evidence of a campfire. A live tree had suffered damage from the fire. Please check into this. It is just off a major dirt path and visible from the path. Leaving their stuff there suggests they might return. I let BPD know. I am attaching photos here.
Asi should keep their mouth shut and keep their opinions and prejudice to themselves I am a tax paying working hard working man I was came up a pond by two ASI security guys and they were completely rude shining lights in my face like I like it was some sort of police officers and I was doing some sort of bad and I was simply having picnic with my sister and they were shining lights in her face while she's trying to put her picnic baskets and things up and blinding her and blinding me being rude saying we was all kinds of things that were not and I really have a problem with this I want to keep doing this I will sue as I for prejudice I was recording it and I will use it in a court of law and they need to get some respect for everyone that is in the park or trails I might even be the next homeless or drug addict they're saying we was it simply dose not matter what they think they are looking at and shining lights in the face of it was so rude we will be filling out great grievance suits for the city of Bloomington and ASI security better whatch that My pen is still mighter than the sword always.
You mentioned the new traction strips on North side of Bryan Park. I think they r very bad because they are too tall and make walking/jogging hurt the feet and ankles due to height and are too “ bumpy” because of height. They should be flatter to not interfere. I’d recommend removing. I purposely now avoid that bridge or walk in grass
There is a tent pitched along the woods trail at TCA Park in the woods.This is not safe, hygienic, or fair to park users. Please, do something about this. Your park security is useless. They do not patrol the trails. Please do something about this. Worse city government in 50 years. Do you jobs that we are paying you to do. RCA should not become another Seminary or mimic what goes on behind Community Auto. I do not feel safe taking kids in the woods anymore. Camping is prohibited here. Enforce the law!
