The same group of people is claiming and staying in the gazebo at the Building and Trades park every single day. They are there from open to close, sometimes sleeping on the ground as if it is their personal camp site. Nobody else has a chance to use the shelter because this group is there the entire time the park is available for use. This was a problem last year, and the group referred to the park as their "turf" during an altercation with my neighbors. My house was recently broken into, and it concerns me to know that there are people who can just sit there all day and see exactly when we are coming or going. I don't mind people using the park (because public use is the purpose of a park), but I think it is unreasonable for one group of people to practically live in the park and claim the shelter every day, to the exclusion of other park users. It would be helpful if they could inhabit a different park - or just be somewhere else - on at least some days.

The area by the shalom center (road/sidewalks) are covered in trash. Please discuss with the shalom center to help keep this area clean as the trash stems from their services. Also seminary park area is filled with trash and multiple stolen shopping carts from local businesses this morning (6/7/23)

There appears to be drug dealing going on in RCA Park. There is a black vehicle that appears to be involved with at least three undernourished pit bulls in and around the vehicle. If someone is approaching from the walking path the dogs bark and snarl. One appears to be secured by a thin rope.
Why is there never a police presence in this area? I almost never see park security down here. It feels like parks and Rec has given up on keeping our parks safe.

Olcott park has severs spots that are rusted and will be holes soon as well as spots that have holes already. I’m concerned with this warmer weather someone’s child’s hand or feet will be cut in these holes as they’re the perfect size for this to happen. Very dangerous, please help, thanks!

I completely understand that weather is no one‘s fault, but we need to find a way to protect the Winslow baseball fields from rain. My family and many others have paid for the Bloomington junior league baseball Association season and we are now going on the third consecutive night of canceled games. Only field three appears to have standing water. Can you all please work to find a solution to maybe cover or tarp the infield so they do not get waterlogged and the games can be played. Thank you for your consideration.

Games canceled again tonight even though there has been no rain in 36 hours. There were no attempts to work on them yesterday to remove water so they could have a chance to dry out today.

Case# 188472 Sorry,
The problem is at the Park Ridge Park, Longview Avenue and North Glenwood Avenue West.
Someone familiar with how the drinking fountain works could possibly fix it quickly. It appears the drain is clogged on the lower of the two fountains and the water pressure when you press the button to activate it, is too high!
So, if you could have someone take a look at it and make the needed adjustments, that would be great!
Thanks,
Warren
