Hi. I know you turned off the drinking fountain but this one is dripping. I worry it may freeze and burst later. If you need to replace in spring, one with a dog bowl like Bryan park is appreciated.
This afternoon 10-24-2024 I witnessed a school aged child (7/8 years old) defecate and urinate at the top of the largest playground slide at the Buskirk/Waldron Park. The feces and urine rolled down the entirety of the large slide. The parents cleaned the slide with a wet wipe as far as they could reach from the bottom, but surely not the whole length and definitely not sanitized. Can you please clean and sanitize the whole thing? Thank you!
Bridge entrance has a lip 1.25 to 1.5" in height
Smaller spinning rope net looks to have been vomited in
The bench swings at switchyad park need a good greasing. Squeaking very loud.
Since the new trail was built, there are no garbage bins or places to place dog poop. There is a dog poop station where you can get bags, but since there is no where to dispose, there are plastic dog poop bags all over the trail because people are just throwing them anywhere
Love all the improvements in the park! Great job. Would be nice to eliminate the spotlights shining on the red art structure in the park. The lights are on very early in the morning and in my opinion detract from early morning “vibe” in the park. Why do you need art illuminated in the park at 6:00? Who is looking at the art during that hour? Does it need to be illuminated at all? Again love the parks and all the team does to make our parks a shining spot of Btown!
Two issues that do not reflect well on the park: the sign about native plants in a mulched bed that contains mostly weeds. (This is curly dock.) And the starlings that are nesting in the tip of the roof over the picnic tables and leaving droppings. Please do not disturb the barn swallow nest in the back corner. They are neither noisy nor messy.
Park Ridge East Park tennis courts starting to crack fairly severely (surface). Are these up for resurfacing or patching per regular maintenance soon? If not, can some patching be done? They are used by all the neighborhoods in the area and almost always are full, so they're put to good use. Thank you.
Your online reservation system for parks is flawed. https://webtrac.bloomington.in.gov/wbwsc/webtrac.wsc/search.html When I search for Winslow Woods Shelter for 9/21/2019 with starting time 8am, I get a result of "Unavailable." If I change the starting time to 12am, I get a result of "6am-11am Available." This is clearly incorrect behavior and has caused us continued confusion starting at least since Fall 2018. This should be a high priority item for fixing, since it makes the reservation system very unreliable.
