there is a broken board on a bridge on south side of park.
there is a broken board on a bridge on south side of park.
Large trees fell across trails in multiple places, west side near highway, east side not far from parking lot.
The middle trail with bridge across main creek is really over grown, very difficult to walk let alone ride.
Trails are overgrown, went there 2 weeks ago with the kids and then again yesterday. Thorns where nasty cutting legs, arms and faces. The parking lot area looked weed wacked, thanks. Winds blew trees over across trails too.
Latimer woods trail has a tree dropping dangerously large limbs onto the trail. Taking the trail clockwise, the tree is on the left just past the footbridge.
A couple of dangerous trees/branches suspended above or about to fall onto latimer woods trail. Could be very dangerous.
A few weeks ago, I noticed that there were some limestone slabs put on the rail trail entrance near Gordon Pike to keep away the cars that I had seen driving back there. Then I went on a run with my dad back there and we noticed that all of the tents seemed to be gone. I was excited that it seemed like that area was being cleaned up, however people are back to living on the newer trail that runs parallel to the rail trail. There have been only two incidents where I have tried to run on the rail trail and turned around both times because I felt unsafe. Both times, I heard someone yelling sounding agitated from the encampment on the trail. I would love to run on the Rail Trail because it is a beautiful trail and perfectly shaded for hot summer runs, but I just don't feel safe. I realize that this is a bigger issue to solve, but it is just frustrating to me that I cannot utilize that trail, even if I am with someone else, because I just don't feel safe. It is disappointing that Bloomington has beautiful parks and trails that people don't want to use because they feel unsafe.
Limb down on the Rail Trail about 1/2 mile south of Country Club.
A HUGE THANK YOU!! to the folks who cleared the trail behind Creeks Edge!! It was a serpentine walk most days and now no more ducking and weaving!! THANK YOU!!
There is about a 6 inch piece of rebar sticking out of the ground alongside the west side of the trail, right by one of the ground lights. It should be removed or cut down. The trail is heavily trafficked and someone could be injured if they trip or catch the edge of the trail right here. Photo attached.
