Transient habitat and bike in RCA Park, 50-100 yards west of the big quarry rock pile, along the fence, where three trails intersect. There is a bunch of trash, a bike, and maybe a shelter. There was screaming and cursing from this area in the park a few days ago.
The batting cages at Winslow are still not up, even though rec league practices have already started. That means teams and players cannot do batting practice. The same thing happened last year, when the cages were not ready until late April. Hopefully they can be up by this week. If help is needed, I know parents and coaches are ready and willing to assist. Unfortunately, the condition of the fields and facilities creates a negative cycle: the facilities are not properly maintained, people get frustrated and stop signing up, and then Bloomington sees low turnout and does not prioritize investing in improvements. Then the cycle repeats. If the fields and facilities were ready to go, properly maintained, and given a few needed upgrades, I believe rec league participation would increase. Winslow could also become a stronger location for hosting successful baseball and softball tournaments.
One of the tennis court at the Park Ridge East Park has an issue: the net is too low and the string can't be roll up/tighten to raise the net. Thanks for taking a look at this issue!
I thought it was illegal to be homeless now, why are they still there?
Park Ridge East Park wooden fence is in shambles. It’s not achieving the desired purpose of a barrier between the road and the park. It is splintery, and it is not sturdy at all. A child is likely to get hurt.
Along the mowed park path on the line of pine trees between 2304 E Pierson Ct and Olcott Park just west of the main park entrance, someone has discarded empty liquor bottles, vape pens, and tobacco containers in several locations.
