I think the Bryan park basketball courts need to be re done and have more lights added to them to make it a better experience

The small karst feature (sinkhole) on the northeast side of Weimer Lake (in Wapehani Park) has greatly increased in size and depth over the last several months, and the lake is draining away! The water level has dropped by a few feet, and the lake surface has shrunk by half. The city already lost one reservoir this way in the 1940s (the one in Leonard Springs Park); would not it be a shame to lose another one? Is there a way to plug the hole (dumping a truckload of gravel and cement into it, perhaps?) before the entire lake flows aways? The picture shows the lake and the sinhole as of a week or so ago; since then, the water level dropped another foot or two, as the sinkhole's draining point is now much deeper than it was back then. And there seems to be more space for further drop...

The water fountain by the bathrooms at lower Cascades is leaking from inside the water fountain. It's a pretty good flow.

I am concerned about the health of the large old sycamore tree in Rev. Butler Park, at the intersection of W. 9th and N. Maple Streets. This magnificent tree, known locally as "the 9th Street Sycamore," is losing its new leaves, which lie shriveled in the streets and gutters around the intersection. The leaves that are still on the tree appear pale, small, and weak/limp, ready to fall shortly themselves. I live across from this tree and have NEVER seen it look unhealthy until this season. Please have a specialist evaluate this important landmark.

On the evening of Tuesday, May 24, I was at Ferguson Dog Park with my leashed dog, Duke, and my friend had her dog (also on a leash). As soon as we entered the park another dog immediately became aggressive and repeatedly attempted to bite my dog and my friend's dog. At one point this dog had one of our dogs on the ground, on top of it. The owner very casually and unconcerned strolled over and grabbed his dog and said, "Now don't do that." This dog continued to be aggressive to other dogs present, even biting and drawing blood on another dog. It was that altercation where other people had to separate the dogs because the owner just sat there and finally got up to get his aggressive dog. The owner did nothing to stop his dog from this atrocious behavior. This owner and his dog are a liability and god forbid a child or any human gets bitten by this dog. I do not have a name or license plate number because I did not feel i could safely obtain that information. I do have a picture of the man and woman and dog.

The bridge at the playground at the Winslow Sports Plex needs one more bar added to either side. I have seen multiple kids fall or slide through the bottom gap. A week ago, my daughter fell and broke her arm through this same gap. One extra bar on either side would prevent many injuries.

There are currently no no-smoking signs in the Upper Cascades park. My wife and I were there with our 1 year old daughter last Monday or Tuesday, and were unable to use the swings as two childless adults were smoking on the swing set and declined to move. Can prominent signage be placed to indicate the park/park system is smoke free? I would also update the park rules to be more layman friendly, as they primarily reference federal, state, and city codes (found here https://bloomington.in.gov/documents/viewDocument.php?document_id=7722). Thank you.

Regarding Building and Trades Park: The steps leading from the upper level to the playing fields are in bad repair and need to be leveled. Even more important, older citizens such as my husband and Regarding Building and Trades Park: The steps leading from the upper part of the park to the playing field, dog walking area, etc., are in bad repair. In addition to problems with the steps themselves, a hand rail (simple pipe construction would be perfectly adequate) is needed, especially for little ones and most older park users.
