Seminary Square Park, there is a big tent-like structure covered with a blue tarp. Does not look like it was erected this morning. Soon there might be more. Is the No-tents-in-parks during the night ordinance being enforced?
All the courts at RCA park are full of pickleball players, most of which are IU students. We need more full-time courts in Bloomington. Not just ones where we have to put out our own nets. Please help! This is outrageous. People who pay taxes can't even get a court.
Ramp to the 5-12 playground is coming up.
Bolts holding down the edge of the ramp have pulled out. Huge trip hazard for the accessible ramp to this playground
Bryan Park Basketball Court: Severely rolled my ankle on the east side of the court where it is not flush with the turf. Please modify for public safety.
We were walking around the Winslow Sports Complex tonight (2/27/23) on then paved trail and there are one or two trees down, one of which is blocking the path. I'm sure it will be seen and reported in the morning as well. This is on the southern-most leg of then path where there is a row of what may be fruit trees.
attn. Tim Street, add to uReport #182858 Park Ridge Park Sign needs a refresh: As you see in the photo, the park signs needs cleaning and repainting. It also has a large hole from either a woodpecker or a bullet. In-person or focus in on the photo and you can see how the sign has deteriorated from the weather. Maybe even a new sign if the budget allows. Much appreciated!
Hello -- Steve Akers here in the Park Ridge neighborhood. I have some items to bring to your attention regarding the Park Ridge park. Most are pretty obvious in terms of regular park maintenance and other points are from our stewardship observation as park users and close by residents. Please read through these points and be sure they are part of the on-going maintenance as we get closer to Spring, thanks. - Mowing: the contractor you have subbed out the mowing to is mowing whether it needs it or not. This has been the case for the past year. The result is literally no grass. Granted the park is heavily used including a nearby daycare visiting 2-3 times per week. With this what we believe is excessive mowing, the leaves are ground to a power and the grass is till. Granted it's quite shady - but please manage the mowing service and please for a pretty aggressive seeding and fertilizing. The park is now just dirt so users have to clean their shoes after use, etc. - Wood chips - regular maintenance. A good dose of chips are needed after a winter season use. - Powerwashing: the equipment is in decent shape and not too dirty but a good power washing of all equipment would be great before the spring/summer season. - Erosion: this issue is most noticeable in two locations. The hill to the south and the hill area beside the bike/ped path. With improved mowing and seeding, these areas may recover. But they do need some soil and minor leveling. - Canopy: it's still an awesome upgrade but does need power washing/cleaning, or possible replacement. We look forward to the park transitioning from winter to spring. The grill will hopefully be unsecured (the homeless have moved on) and the water fountain will be turned back on. I am happy to meet you or any staff at the site to discuss my items. One additional item: the Park Ambassador program does not include our park. I made an inquiry when the program began and was told the Park Ridge park was not part of the program. Would you reconsider? I know of neighbors who are willing to be named the Park Ambassador. Thanks!
Park ridge pickle ball. You can walk on the court and immediately start playing tennis. With pickle ball you have to assemble the net which is time consuming. You have to disassemble it. The light blue line is difficult to see. There is not a center line. Half of the court is on concrete. It is obvious they are making it as difficult to play, to discourage people from playing. It should be even .
Dangerous issue RESOLVED by staff: GREAT JOB and FAST ACTION I had reported a precarious large limb overhanging the trail and when I was walking today I saw it has been dislodged and moved to safety. Great job to all involved! Thank you!!
