Some of the larger trees that were planted a few years back still have some wrap on them, which is casing girdling to leader branch. Thank you!

There is a large encampment with tents. They have two guard dogs tied who bark if anyone approaches. They have cleared all vegetation of plants. They have an open fire. It has not rained for some time. This is a dangerous situation and unfair to all who would like to use the space.
There are two dogs in a homeless camp tied up. They are barking at all who want to use the park including me and my leashed dog. This is not safe. I feel afraid to use the park trails. They are at 39.14547Nx86.55090W
Possible drug activity white passenger car may be a drug deal going on. They are parked in the back parking circle at RCA Park.
I smell a campfire on the N side of the park by the chain link fence. It is too dry for this.
Kids riding electronic scooters on trails recklessly when there are signs posted not to.
There are people who are unhoused living in the area around the old torn down shelter house slab and in the woods at RCA Park.
Piece of barbed wire directly on the trail at RCA Park. It is the part of the trail that comes out into the neighborhood midway down Countryside. I passed the sign that explains that the stand of trees along this section of the trail indicates that it had once been a road. The wire is very close to where the goes out onto the sidewalk. It is dangerous because it is directly on the trail so it isn't obvious as you walk.
Please do something about the homeless in and around the library. A resource officer can easily make sure they aren't bathing and congregating in bathrooms. I grew up in Bloomington and love it...but issues need to be addressed. This being a major one. The library should be a safe space. Thank you.
