This is a follow up on Case #192474 that Tim Street closed last week regarding unhoused individuals using the park shelter at Winslow Woods near the Community Gardens and Community Orchard as a camp.
I appreciate that the BPD is aware, but these unhoused individuals continue to live in the shelter. We go to our garden plot at sunrise and they are there, sleeping, so they obviously sleep there overnight.
They are there all day, taking over a third of the shelter. They continue to burn smoky, green wood in the grill. There things are spread all over. I’m not aware they harass anyone but it’s uncomfortable.
Are you saying it’s okay that they live there? That anyone can basically take over a park building for private use on an ongoing basis? Because that is what they have done.
It appears the City has simply ceded the park to these guys. This needs to be addressed in a better way. I feel that others should be free to use the shelter and surrounding area without these men making it feel unsafe.

Some kids got into the the barn at Schmalz Farm Park a week or two ago and left a "window" open. Now other people are going in and out. Not sure how many or for what purpose, but we can tell by the movements of a bucket they use as a stool. Mainly kids exploring probably, but who knows.

Hi Parks and Rec,
Bloomington is such a great city. During the warmer months, there is always something to do. But for a community with so much family activity, there is surprisingly little to do in the winter. There are only so many times one can enjoy a day at Wonderlab or the public library, fantastic as they both are. Is there any talk of an indoor playground/play center, or family center anytime? The Commons in Columbus, with their indoor playground is fantastic. Is there a place that I

This photo was taken this evening, between rainstorms, from the Stull Street parking lot, looking at the North shelter. I saw one car drive from Stull Street into the park and turn right up the sidewalk.
Good luck!

Does Bloomington have an indoor pool/aquatic center? This would be very healthy for people who need to swim during the winter months. Thank you.
