Frustratingly looks like someone broke the fence in a few places that runs along Morningside at Park Ridge East Park

Hello, I am writing to report that the rake/scraper for the bocce courts at Switchyard Park is missing, so as to make restoration of the courts possible only by bringing one’s own rake/scraper. Can you please tell me whether and when the rake/scraper will be replaced? Thank you!
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.
Someone removed the signs at Park Ridge Park on Longview Avenue that stated the equipment was closed. Caution tape has been removed from equipment too.
Newly planted trees should not be dug up at schmals farm park because one well connected citizen “didn’t like them”.
uReport Case #168317: I got a follow up email today about the hole I reported. Thanks to the long period of heavy rainfall, I think I have discovered what is responsible for the holes---burrowing crawdads. So, I still think the holes are dangerous BUT maybe there is no point in filling them.
This says Griffey is closed every day? https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/parks/griffy-lake
I love Bryan Park and have walked there nearly every morning for many years. In the past year or so, bikes have increased in numbers in the park and have become a significant danger to pedestrians. While there are many bikers who are careful and ride slowly down the park's paths, there are always a few bike riders who speed along the park's sidewalks and paths, endangering pedestrians and pets. They fail to announce themselves when they are passing people from behind and ride at speeds that are too fast to be safe. There are many older people who use the park as well as people with small children and pets. The bikers are especially dangerous to them. There should be some safe places for pedestrians in Bloomington and the parks should be among these places. Please keep the bikes out of the park and off of the sidewalks surrounding the park or please enforce bicycle speed limits in the park. This is an accident waiting to happen. An encounter with an unsafe biker is nearly a daily event in the park.
The fenced in playground at Bryan Park, the one for smaller children, has some significant gaps in the rubber mats under the play equipment. One was large enough that my toddler was constantly getting his foot stuck and tripping. Can this please be looked at and corrected? Thanks!!
Curious: why was this Bryan Park bluebird box moved from the east side to the west side of the big Norway spruce between the tennis courts and the Woodlawn picnic shelter? Thanks!
