The lighting along the east side of the walking path which circles Winslow Sports Park was not lit at 9 PM tonight, August 23. That section is very dark without light after dark, and has been a safety concern in the past. Thank you.

Last year (?) the Callery pears in the grass strip next to the Bryan Park tennis courts on Woodlawn were removed. Are there any plans to replace them with native trees,

There is inadequate bike parking at Bryan Park Pool. When I arrived on Sunday there were already multiple bikes unable to be locked to the rack because it was entirely full.

Southeast Park tennis courts have tall weeds growing around the fence area. Also, the sidewalk on the northside of the tennis courts is caked in mud, making it difficult to use. This was addressed a couple of months ago, but the mud is back. Looks like the sidewalk needs to be raised or re-done to fix the problem.

Dog water fountain at Bryan Park seems clogged/not draining. It was full before i pushed the button and i couldn't clear it by hand. It is good that it doesn't drain too fast, but too slow or not at all mean stale water and mosquito breeding grounds. Thanks!

Safety hazard: There is Exposed barbed wire on the edge of the playing fields. Along the eastern edge where the fields meet the woods, there are several lines of barbed wire. They have been there for decades, but I recently saw a person get cut from them when they went into the edge of the woods to retrieve a ball. It is particularly dangerous starting at the press box and walking north along the woods - about 4 feet in from the playing fields. In some areas, it is a single piece of barb wire about 3 feet off the ground – easy to run into. In other areas (behind one set of bleachers) there is more of it in coils on the ground. Towards the northern edge where the field meets the woods, it is farther into the woods and it is a fence. I think it would be in the City’s and the community‘s best interest to remove this to avoid further injury. I suggest staff scan the entire line to make sure they get it all and don’t miss the pieces that are hidden by growth. These are the coordinates for a section that is on the ground and hard to see; 39.12601° N, 86.50944° W (In one photo I took of the barbed wire it is almost impossible to see because it blends in with the sticks.)

I am afraid of this park due to drugs, sleeping people and drinking. It sure sets a bad example for Bloomington as a friendly town.
