When clicking on the link "Bryan Park Pool Activity Calendar", only Mills Pool calendar pops up. Where can Bryan Park Pool information & calendar be found? Thank you, Julie- M Farrar 812-219-5340
I was a spectator at Twin Lakes Fields on Tuesday the 6th. There was an obvious safety threat with a sky full of lightning and no action was being taken. I felt like this was neglect at the very least.
Our home, at 1016 S. Manor Road, is directly across Woodlawn from the Bryan Park Pool. There are security lights on the west side of the pool which point directly towards our house, illuminating our bedroom even with the shades down. It would see far more neighborly if the lights were on the east side of the pool, facing deeper into the park rather than into our neighborhood. Is this something you can remedy?
There is no rental information for Switchyard Park on the facilities rental page. I also don't see anything about the Twin Lakes clubhouse, which used to be rentable. https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/rentals/facilities
Open the bathrooms to more than just park employees
Is Indiana Red Basketball affiliated with the City? The Coach, Rob Norris holds practices at the Twin Lakes complex. He charged $700 per player for travel basketball. Because of Covid-19, we only had two practices and no tournaments. He has refused to give a pro-rated refund. He is asking to apply the monies toward next year, or give a donation to Indiana Red. This seems dishonest to me!
Needle disposal at restroom overfill, making it unsafe and unsanitary
The idea that Bloomington does not allow basketball or turf rentals at the TLRC is preposterous at this point in the pandemic. The positive case numbers have continued to drop, Monroe County has the lowest positive rate in the entire state, and TLRC has already shown they can operate safely. There is no reason at this point to continually take away opportunities from youth sports in Bloomington. It is long overdue that someone like John Turnbull is held accountable to create opportunities for youth sports instead of continually take them away and claim that "participation numbers are down" that is a direct reflection of the lack of initiative in his department and it starts at the top.
Sycamore Shelter - As of Saturday, March 6 at around 5:30 p.m., there was human feces on the ground near the fireplace. Additionally, there was trash left on the shelter's tables and in the fireplace. Waterfall Shelter - At the same time as above, there was a gentleman sleeping in the fireplace of the shelter. He appeared to be using this as his primary shelter/home. As a result from the trash, feces, and individual, both shelters were rendered unusable for families.
Portable toilets not usable today because toilets were filled with used needles. Empty liquor bottles also in toilets.
