I submitted this issue already as a sanitation issue, but I was told that it is P&R's responsibility. So hopefully it will get routed to the right person this time.
There is a drainage channel at the edge of Butler Park near 10th and Fairview that is clogged with stones and sediment from recent flooding events. It needs to be dug out to allow water to drain and avoid breeding mosquitoes. Location is halfway between Fairview and the path connecting Butler Park to the B line.

The mulch in the Broadview park under the swings and playground has washed away in areas causing deep groves that could be dangerous for children. It looks like more mulch is needed and the washed away mulch needs to be cleaned up. Thank you!

Water fountains at southeast park still have yet to be turned on. Will they be turned back on at any point? The fountain by the tennis courts was used heavily by many runners who no longer have access to water on their routes.

Hello, I've noticed a few things that need attention on some of our playgrounds while there with my toddler. 1) the gate to the small kids playground at Bryan Park has been broken for two weeks at least...my small daughter loves making the escape now. 2) more than once this month I've found dog poop on that same playground. 3) people without children have been loitering on the switchyard playground. Yesterday a man smoking a cigarette was playing fetch with his dog all over the equipment and people were driving motorized scooters through the playground. Another man was vaping. Between the tobacco use, unleashed dog, motorized scooters, and lingering adults without children I didn't feel safe letting my child roam and play freely there. I felt it would be best to bring these issues to your attention. Thank you for all you do! We really love visiting Bloomington's parks!

I am retired and live across Woodlawn Avenue from the Bryan Park Pool. In the morning I usually sit on my deck to drink coffee and read the paper. The person who mows and string trims in the park often (five days/week?) starts mowing shortly after 8 am. It's loud and annoying, and the last straw was when it happened this morning - SATURDAY! He mowed the grass strip between Woodlawn and the parking lot, then the strip across Woodlawn along that parking lot, then the grass strip directly outside my yard! My cat jumped up and ran inside, and this was at 8:30. I'm sure many of my neighbors would agree that this is unnecessary; how can mowing be so urgent that it has to be done at 8:00 on Saturday morning? I will add that the gentleman does a great job; the park is mowed and trimmed and free of trash. But please make a change so that the loud machinery is operated later in the day. Thank you.
