This trail has a lot of dog walkers and there is a lot of dog feces that is not picked up. Would like a dog waste disposal and bags to help keep this area clean. And possibly some signage
The electrical outlets closest to the bathroom are out of commission. Please figure this out.
Not anything you can do now, but this is probably NOT the species indicated on the plaque. The flowers look more like a red horse chestnut, a hybrid
The lights installed at the RCA Park Pickleball Courts are incredibly bright and send light hundreds of feet into the surrounding park, the woods near the park, and the surrounding homes close to the park. It is a real disruption to those of us who live near the park and I am also concerned about the disruption it has on local wildlife. Would it be possible to have the lights adjusted in some way to reduce the overall light pollution either by lowering their output or changing the angle? I have photos of the issue I can send if that would be helpful.
Trash and stuff by the big rock south of Allen and east of Patterson. It has been there for a couple of weeks
There a group of teenage kids riding electric dirt bikes in and around southeast park. From what I can gather these are street legal, and they don't belong in the parks either.
Switchyard Park Skate Park drain is clogged. Again.
The fake grass on the east side of the north tunnel at the Switchyard playground is ripped and loose. Kids step out of the tunnel and onto this damaged fabric that slides under foot and is very dangerous. A fall and injury hazard as of 2/28/2026.
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.
I thought it was illegal to be homeless now, why are they still there?
