Park Ridge Park needs wood chips around the bench to the east of the basketball court. The ground is packed dirt and tree roots.

There is one broken slat and one depressed slat on the little wooden foot bridge in front of the Bryan Park restrooms.
Lots of homeless. Doing drug cussing passing out. Yelling. At a kids park. It is getting bad. I like taking my daughter here
I'm writing to express my gratitude for the efforts Bloomington Parks and Rec is making to support reduce pollution, save money, and support native species and ecosystem services in our city parks. I've been particularly delighted to see former areas of lawn in Winslow Park and Crestmont Park converted to no mow zones and planted with native trees! After just a short period of time, these areas are already supporting wildlife and adding natural beauty (asters were blooming today!) in a ways that mowed lawns never could. Thank you for supporting these no mow zones - I'd love to see more of them!
Please keep introducing new no mow zones in public parks to increase the growth of native plant species and increase biodiversity in our town. Increasing these spaces can greatly improve the quality of life in the surrounding area, not just for humans but also for many crucial insects and animals in our city.
sharps box (for needles / biohazard) at 9th street / rev butler park is full. the one at the bathroom at the top of the hill. thanks!
This is the 3rd time I have reported that the grass on the south side of the walking path around the Winslow Ball fields need cut, this is city property not privet property, also many of the thorny trees in the greasy area needs removed or cut down, they are a hazard to those who uses rhe walking path I do not know what company does mowing but they need to know to cut this mess! thank you.
Hello! Has Bloomington parks and rec ever looked into building a pump track in one of the parks? Kokomo has one: https://www.cityofkokomo.org/departments/northside_pump_track.php and Indy has one although it's not well advertised and very very small: https://parks.indy.gov/parks/sandorf-park/ I've never been involved in any of the city parks efforts before and have no idea what it takes to build for example the existing two skate parks at cascades and switchyard that cater more to street and vert/bowl skateboarding and other sports. I was very surprised to see that Kokomo has a pump track and we didn't. Thanks for any information you can provide !
The tennis courts at Bryan Park; the windscreen around the southern courts have become "undone" and are flapping in the wind; a real mess. Would someone please go there with a hand full of zip ties and correct the problem? Thank you. V/r, Mark
There appears to be drug dealing going on in RCA Park. There is a black vehicle that appears to be involved with at least three undernourished pit bulls in and around the vehicle. If someone is approaching from the walking path the dogs bark and snarl. One appears to be secured by a thin rope. Why is there never a police presence in this area? I almost never see park security down here. It feels like parks and Rec has given up on keeping our parks safe.
