I am afraid of this park due to drugs, sleeping people and drinking. It sure sets a bad example for Bloomington as a friendly town.

Rather than blowing the dust around this and other Bryan Park playground, perhaps park employees could weed the mulch. I think it looks OK, but a better use of employee time, I think. Or take care of the weeds on the various spruce trees along the paths. That latter item may already be on a regular maintenance calendar, but that too would be more useful than dust blowing.
Tuesday morning around 8 a parks employee was blowing dust around near the basketball courts and nearby parking lot. A leaf blower in both hands. Why? Air and noise pollution, carbon footprint. Years ago every morning except Sunday at 7:30 the playground on the Henderson side had dust blown around. Worse then because those blowers had more powerful motors. But why? What is accomplished? I mean this as a serious question. When I see employees spraying a picnic shelter with liquid from a tank, i figure that is disinfectant or pesticides for an area where people eat, drop food, attract pests. I get it. But the dust blowing, I just dont Thanks
The sign for the Woodlawn shelter has a piece of board that has come off the signpost. The board is currently leaning against the sign. It's an interior trim board that needs to be put back on or replaced.
THANKS for straightening up this sapling so quickly!
The city Public wifi and city secure network wifi are not working in Waldron, Hill, and Buskirk Park.
Well done! Those black gum trees up near the workout equipment in Bryan Park look very nice---color now (and again later in the fall, I assume)
Bryan Park, north side, near Stull Avenue parking lot, one if the newly planted sapling has been knocked sideways . Needs to be straightened.(Sidenote: is that an Osage orange? The roots are orange).
If you can see the screenshot, you will see three images, one of a tree dedication plaque with a tree misidentified as an Ohio Buckeye. Another image of the tree and a third from Wikipedia about the tree itself actually is. If it is possible to correct that somehow, please think about doing that. Thanks!
The fountain needs to be repaired. It was one of the most lovely places to gather in this city and my sister with special needs loved going there to see the fountain. Why are our tax paying dollars not going towards fixing it?
