Good morning! I just want to be sure you are aware that one of the courts here is still unusable. The net that has been up all winter is still fine. The net that was just re-installed a couple of weeks ago has collapsed. With the warmer weather, these courts get a lot of use and I know a bunch of us would be delighted to have both courts in play. Thanks!
Hello, My name is Grant Seifers. I have lived at 2104 E. Arden Dr. for almost my entire life now, I am 23, and Southeast park has always been a big part of my life as a park that I could always use and take pride in living so close to! That being said, I still live at the same house I grew up in because I am an IU student trying to save money. My friends and I still use the basketball courts and yesterday we noticed that their age was really showing. The goals are very out of date and probably original to the courts being made, the rims are bent, one goal is missing a net, and one of the goals is bent altogether. I did notice a few years ago the court was re sealed and painted, but no notice was given to the actual goals. which is pretty important also. It would be awesome to see new goals put in place before summer gets here, because a lot of people would be thrilled to see that. Also putting in metal bleachers or some kind of seating would be really great to see! Thanks for hearing me out, and hopefully we can look forward to playing on some nice goals this summer in the park!

Van Accessible spaces at Bryan Park on Stull do not provide reasonable park access -- I got into the space adjacent to the two pictured however these two V.A. spaces have aisles leading to the parking lot and NOT the park. I had to navigate past a small garage and across broken terrain in my wheelchair to attend the show on the bandstand Sunday. If not for low soil moisture I might well have been stranded unable to move Also, it would be great t have a H/C area down in front, or, perhaps to the left overlooking the band shell.
The lights on the tennis courts at Bryan Park do not seem to be working, and when I went tonight to play at 9pm I also saw that one of the large bulbs from one of the lights had fallen and shattered on the ground. Can you please let me know when/if the lights will be in working condition tomorrow night? I would like to take advantage of the tennis courts in the evenings. Thanks so much!
There is a dead deer inside the SW baseball field (the one closest to Winslow and S. Highland). It is in far left field, near the fence. Maybe it jumped the fence and didn't make it. It probably should be removed ASAP.
The website states there is a sand volleyball court at the Southeast Park. I went there yesterday and couldn't find it. Can you send me a picture and/or the location of the court. And can you provide me with a current list of volleyball courts in Bloomington. Thanks.

Caller reported several people camping out under the shelter at the Building & Trades Park. Suggested an unsafe environment, as one man was "hiding, wearing a heavy parka, with the hood pulled over his eyes." Frustrated as a tax-paying citizen at her perceived lack of safety at a public park.
