In the parking lot and around the pickleball courts you have Johnson grass growing taller than me and I'm 5'2 that's going to seed. This is a very invasive weed and needs to be pulled and the seeds thrown away as soon as possible or you'll be fighting it for the next 20 years. I pulled some tassels from around the courts, but it's also near the parking in the shade on the end of the pickleball courts close to the basketball courts.
The 3 large swings for parents to sit on at the South end of the Switchyard playground. Please fix them so they don't squeak or moan when someone is swinging. I live in the mobile home park just west of the playground, and I love hearing the sounds of the park. Except for those darn swings moaning and squealing! Can you please engineer something to stop them from making noise? Thank you!
The sidewalk at the north end of the tennis court in the southeast park has a large area filled with mud that is difficult for pedestrians to cross. It needs to be cleared and the drainage corrected.
Would it be possible to extend the time the Switchyard Park Splash Pad is open on Food Truck Fridays during the summer? The splash pad closed at 8pm on Friday but it was still very bright out and very hot. Extending the splash pad operating time an extra half hour to an hour might encourage individuals to stay at the parks a little longer together building a stronger community and more business for the food trucks. Thank you for your consideration.

The Switchyard Skatepark lights need turned back on for the evenings. I've talked to the construction crew and they only intended them to be off for the first couple days. Thanks!
Switchyard Skatepark lights still haven't been turned on. B-Line and adjacent park lights came on around 7:10p last night, and by the time I left at 8 (because it was too dark to keep skating), they still weren't on. I'd really like to make sure they're on for tomorrow's opening of the new features! (Though tonight would be better) Secondary comment: Is there a way to update old tickets instead of creating new ones? I've tried replying to the emails in the past but that didn't seem to work.

Forward to Mayor and whoever is involved in approving this. Same sex restrooms at Switchyard park?!! Seriously? I am a lifelong resident of Bloomington of 66 years. I am absolutely appalled at the restrooms being open to whatever sex wants to use them with each other. I had no idea until I visited for the first time and had to use the restroom. My mouth dropped when I read the signs on both sides of the building. What is wrong with the people doing this? For the love of God, put in women and men’s restrooms! The leadership in Bloomington is absolutely rotten in allowing women and children to share a restroom with males. I refuse to ever go to that park or any future park again that allows this. It’s obviously a democratic agenda that has destroyed the town of Bloomington. Keep men out of women and children’s restrooms! Where did you people come from to do such a thing and risk women and children to be sexually assaulted or preyed upon? We want to feel safe and comfortable when we use the restroom. Sick.
