Enjoying the BSO concert at the switchyard pavilion tonight (8/24/25) and they closed the bathrooms at 8:00pm! I know the sign says closed at 8, but when an event is going on and there are 100’s of people here at the concert! Not good.
Hi! I was just curious if there was any way you all could fill in the mud hole with rocks at the large dog park at Switchyard? My dog always runs straight for the mud and leaves a mess, which keeps us from utilizing the park as much as we would like. There was another muddy spot that was filled in with rocks earlier, and that was a nice addition! Thank you! We love our Bloomington parks!
We did our first visit Switchyard park - small dog area. I have a 6lb chihuahua. I experienced him getting out at Ferguson dog park. So any dog park we visit I check for gaps. The small dog area at Switchyard needs to be checked by Psrks. There were many gaps from fence to ground that’s tiny dogs could get out. The gaps need to be filled with dirt to bring over the fence line. Please let me know when this is corrected so we can return. Thank you.
Poison ivy next to the court where the balls roll all the time. We went through four balls because we have to switch balls every time we hit the poison. Ivy in an hour and 15 minutes. We've had one player get it so bad they had to go on prednisone. Please weed it.
My suggestion is there needs to be railings on these little bridges over the creek in Switchard Park. I can see kids walking on these and failing off of these bridges. Please put up a railing on these before someone gets hurt.
There is an older fellow who consistently comes to the park on a bike with his dog and plays loud, very explicit music on a Bluetooth speaker. I wouldn't really have an issue if there weren't so many kids around that don't need to hear that music aloud. He should wear headphones like everyone else. To give a physical description for better identification, he has long, somewhat greying hair and looks to be in his mid to late 40s. He always wears a backwards baseball cap, sunglasses, a t-shirt, and shorts. The dog is a small to mid size breed, mostly grey with some brown and white spotting. He frequents the tables outside the two dog parks but never actually enters the large or small dog parks. I believe this qualifies as being a public disturbance/nuisance and enough people seem bothered by it that it seems like someone with authority should take action to get him to cease.
Blocked handicap parking aisle in the west side parking lot of Switchyard Park off Rogers.
Switchyard Park - East Parking lot needs wayfinding signs to help navigate to the best path to get to a desired destination in the park. Other parts of the park would probably benefit from wayfinding signs, too.
I believe the Pierogi Place is operating a food truck without a license. There are no license plates (or registration) on the food truck which are required to get a license, and they are parking the truck in Gentry Estates neighborhood and dumping their gray water tank.
The parent pick up lane continues to cause major issues with this street. The parents block the area where there is a lane merger with a cross walk. The parents need to follow the rules of the road and wait until the line is moving allowing the residents of the area to use that street. The teachers that guard there are rude, and will not allow you to go past even with no kids in sight. I understand there is another way through the neighborhood, but it is out of the way, and doesn't stop the fact that they are not above the law, and that street should not be blocked for ANYTIME. If there was an emergency, is it right for a loved one to have to wait for help due to a parent pickup line? This is an issue that can be EASILY fixed with the guards stopping the parents from blocking the merged area allowing for the traffic to flow. This has been brought to the school who basically puts their hands up like it isn't their teachers out there yelling at residents just trying to make it home.
