Hi there. I wanted to first commend the parks department for putting their resources towards purchasing trees and having staff plant them in Schmalz Farm Park to help with the ecological restoration of the area. Projects like this are what make Bloomington such a great place to live! However, I have also been informed that, due to the complaint of one individual about taking up space for children to play, these trees are to be removed next week. I believe that this is a grave mistake - there are plenty of other parts of the park for children to play, the fragile young trees will likely not recover from another transplant, and the hard work of all of the parks employees will be for naught. I urge the parks department to reconsider this direction and leave the trees to prosper where they have been planted, helping to keep a Bloomington Park in great shape for years to come.

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?

The playground at Park Ridge Park needs additional fill/fiber/woodchips/whatever it is called. There are areas of consistently exposed dirt, there are deep pits under the swings, and the distance between the bottoms of some of the slides and the playground surface has grown large. Additionally, there are areas of exposed dirt in the grassy areas around the playground in areas or erosion. It has been worse in the past, but still seems like it needs addressed to try to prevent additional erosion.

This is a repeat of a previous ureport as I haven't heard any updates on the previous ureport nor seen noticed action yet being taken to address this issue. There is bare ground at the playground structure at Park Ridge Park. There is need of new fill material in particular at points of high traffic (the bottom of slides, the bottoms of steps etc). Also - there is ongoing erosion at locations through out the park, in particular to the north of the concrete steps leading in to the park and to the north of the the playground structure. I suggest strongly trying to address this (and the other locations) sooner rather than later as previous experience suggests that these areas only get worse with time.
