I was looking at a map of Cascades (Lower) today, as I am attending a gathering at Sycamore tomorrow. I also saw, to my extreme dismay, that the south entrance to the lower park is all pedestrian and bicycle! I am supposed to be attending a reserved gathering in Waterfall Shelter in week and a half. My right side is about 80% paralyzed. I can neither walk that far nor use a wheelchair to get there. I HOPE that this doing-away with the road is not permanent. This city is increasingly putting lots of money behind bike trails while doing darned near NOTHING for the physically disabled. I remind you that we too are taxpayers, as I have been here for nearly 50 years. I should be able to attend my paying group's function at Waterfall, as I have in years past.

Is the pool basketball hoop as Bryan Park pool coming back soon? It was a great way for older kids to enjoy playing in the pool together. They definitely miss it now that it is gone.

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!

Is there, by chance, a lost and found for the Lower Cascades waterfall area? We may have misplaced a bag there. Thank you!

Seminary park and surrounding area is progressively getting more abandoned personal possessions and trash/litter. The answer that I get every time is that the parks department monitors the area but can’t do anything in between the times it comes by the area. However I feel like some city workers are not addressing these issues due to fear and other known issues in the area. (Plus political reasons) More needs done and people using this area creating these problems need held accountable.

Last w/e, found pieces of shattered, clear glass on the limestone steps by the creek. Location is adjacent to the volley ball net. I picked up the larger pieces. Today I walked thru the area; with the sunlight, can still see several pieces about dime and quarter sized. Can easily cut or embed in feet or paws. Can someone sweep or vacuum? Thank you.

This is one of the burned items I found back in RCA Park woods. We need better security here.

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!!!
