The net on court 2 of the pickleball courts is damaged and unusable. Looks like a pretty easy fix.

IU students are returning which will put even more pressure on the RCA pickleball courts. There are six permanent courts there (one with broken net) The Bloomington Pickleball Club has offered to put temporary lines on the tennis courts to add 6 more courts. There are a number of temp chalk and paint products out there that will do the trick short term. The lines will not affect the ability to play tennis (though no one really plays tennis here) The BPC has temp nets we can put out at least on weekends to help with the crowds. I suggest the city also adopt some court rules for how the courts get shared when there is a large crowd. Let’s get ahead of this before it becomes a bigger problem in a few weeks!

With the hot weather recently we've been taking our small children to the switchyard park playground earlier in the morning to beat the heat. It's really baffling as to why the restrooms here don't open until 10:00 AM. There are a lot of families on the playground before then that would really appreciate restroom access for small children.
Just in case no one else has notified you, the girls' bathroom on the west side of the park has a toilet malfunctioning (flushing continuously).
The showers between locker rooms 3&4 barely work. The showers between locker rooms 1&2 work great, its frustrating as it seems like an easy fix.
The bathroom at the police substation were locked again at 10 am. This is a holiday and the courts were full, but the bathroom was locked. The inside door was open. You could see the bathroom but couldn't get in. This is not the first time this bathroom has been lock. Don't say to go to the other switchyard bathroom! By the time you get to this one it's a 10-15 minute walk to the other that might not be unlocked also. This is ridiculous. The pickleball courts were full and a few basketball players.
Both shower drains are badly backed up, to the point of nearly flooding the adjacent bathrooms.This is extremely unsanitary as well as flooding risk to the facility. This has been reported to staff a minimum of five times over the past several weeks but to my knowledge no action has been taken.
Frank Southern Ice Arena. Shower drain for locker rooms 3/4 is still clogged. Drain servicing locker rooms 1/2 has been cleared but drain for 3/4 is still backed up!!!
Our run club meets at 6pm Mondays and Wednesdays and leaves for our run at 6:05pm. The restrooms (scheduled to close at 6pm) typically close at 5:55pm. It would REALLY help our members out if those restrooms could stay open until 6:15pm on those nights of the week - Monday and Wednesday. Thanks!
