Not enough pickle ball courts. I went on Sunday and 15 people were waiting continually for two hours. It causes an issue because people are sitting on the courts. Also, it can be frustrating for them to have to wait so long to play it would be nice if the city would create more Pickleball courts. This is a very popular sport and has been for many years. I’ve tried to play a Park Ridge in East. This is not a solution. It took 20 minutes to put up the net. I had to find a way to get the combination to the lock. It took another 15 minutes to take it down and put it all away. The lines are confusing, so my group has decided not to play there.

We have seen a few people frequently using the tennis court at Sherwood Oaks Park for soccer. They would practice shooting soccer ball against the tennis wall and court fences. Those structures are damaged because they are not designed to withhold such strong impact. Please consider putting a sign to warn against similar activities. Thank you!

I took my 5yr old daughter to the park restroom and there was a used syringe in the trash bin. It was out in the open laying on top. The bathroom was a wreck. I told her not to touch anything and not to use the bathroom. This is 2nd time in two weeks 2 different parks. We have to do something. Next time I experience this I will send photos to the Bloomingtonian and the local news. Maybe take the monolith money and spend it on some type of safety at these parks. Sincerely One pissed off Dad!!!

Request for bike racks on either the east or west side of the splash pad restroom building. Our run club meets here and the nearest bike racks are next to the playground south of here. We have a decent number of cyclists during the summer who would all use these racks during our runs on Mondays/Wednesdays. I bike year round and so this would be a great quality of life upgrade for me personally as well. Thanks for the consideration!

I am writing to bring your attention to a serious safety concern at the entrance of the Winslow Sports Park in Bloomington, Indiana, specifically the lack of a sidewalk and clear crosswalk on Highland Avenue. As a concerned resident and frequent park user, I would like to request immediate action to address this issue to prevent potential accidents and injuries. On [date], I had two close encounters where I almost got hit by cars speeding into the park and not paying attention to pedestrians. This alarming situation made me realize the imminent danger that exists for both pedestrians and drivers. Given that the park is designed to promote pedestrian activity, it is essential to create a safe and accessible environment for all users, especially considering the large neighborhood across the street. I kindly request the following actions to be taken as soon as possible: 1. Construction of a Sidewalk: I urge you to install a sidewalk along Highland Avenue leading up to the entrance of Winslow Sports Park. This would provide a designated path for pedestrians and separate them from vehicular traffic, ensuring their safety. 2. Installation of a Clear Crosswalk: It is imperative to establish a clearly marked crosswalk at the park entrance, complete with visible signage and pedestrian indicators. This would serve as a visual cue for drivers to yield to pedestrians and encourage safer crossing. By addressing these concerns promptly, we can prevent any potential accidents and injuries that may arise from the current hazardous situation. Moreover, enhancing the accessibility and safety of the park would further encourage pedestrian engagement and contribute to the overall well-being of our community. I kindly request that you consider the urgency of this matter and allocate the necessary resources to implement these changes. I am also willing to collaborate with the appropriate departments or community organizations to help facilitate the process and ensure a successful outcome. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I believe that with your support, we can create a safer environment for all park users and foster a greater sense of community. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding the proposed course of action.
