Please add a sprayer at the dog park enclosures at Switchyard park, like the one at Ferguson dog park. There are lots of muddy puddles our dog can’t resist and it would be great to have a way to hose her down before getting back in the car.

I am very upset at the treatment I received by a contract security person at the Bloomington ice rink this past Saturday. While I understand the need to limit or prevent outside food and beverages from being brought into the arena prior to the playing of hockey games, I felt that I was harassed and spoken to in a demeaning and bullying manner, one of the contract security personnel and that the manner in which I was addressed was not only unprofessional, but openly hostile. I am a 58 year old father of one of the players on one of the teams, who (without realizing the policy) was entering the arena with one-third of a home made sandwich that I was finishing. I was stopped and told “no outside food or beverage” was allowed. I replied “seriously? This is a third of a sandwich I’m about to finish. My son is on the team and I want to see him warm up”. I was told “no outside food”, so I left, finished my sandwich, and return. Upon entrance, a second time I was told “open up your jacket”, which felt like I was being accused of trying to smuggle another 1/6th of a sandwich in. My “jacket” was a fleece sweater, and I protested a second time and said “No, I’m not going to do that”, the security guard I have the issue with, proceeded in a very disrespectful and unprofessional manner, to grandstand and make negative comments about the HAT I was wearing, and approached me in an aggressive and grand-standing manner. It was humiliating, intimidating, disrespectful, escalated the situation, and was totally beyond what was called for. I came to realize that the rink requires the hockey team to PAY FOR THE SERVICES OF THIS UNPROFESSIONAL AND THUGGISH service. Additionally, I noted a desecrated American flag on the shoulder of the individual I am speaking of (one used by “Stop the steal” right wing extremists and militia, as a means to self-identify and threaten and intimidate law-abiding citizens who respect our government and the institutions so many have foyluhjt and died for. I don’t have a problem with what this individual does and says in their own, private life, but when hires and paid for as an extension of a city government agency, such a display has NO PLACE AND SHOULD BE (IF NOT ALREADY) PROHIBITED. If you are going to force a university club team to pay for a security service, that service should provide a minimal level of professionalism. The whole experience ruined my chance to se MY SONS game, and still causes me distress. A public apology by the individual, as well as a public statement indicating controversial political statements will not be tolerated , by the individual’s management, combined with refunding the team 1/2 the cost of that days security expenses should be provided. I am tired of seeing paramilitary clad thugs running without any consequence to their intimidation and bullying type behaviors. The City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation department deserves to enjoy a reputation for unbiased and apolitical operations, and the Shield Security service employed this past Saturday fell far short of this.

The bathroom at the lower cascades park has been locked the past 5 Saturdays and or Sundays that my family has visited. There is no "out of order" sign. But it worries me because there are hundreds of people that visit that park, especially on the weekends. I actually wondered if maybe the park itself is closed on weekends during the day (around 1 o'clock in the afternoon). So my questions are: -is the bathroom supposed to be locked during the day on the weekends? If not, -when will someone reopen it? -what are the hours that the park is actually open with access to the bathroom? I don't know if your responses to u-reports are public or even available to me (without leaving an email address). But I hope they are, so that the other parents can also be informed.
