Lower Cascades Park, 2851 Old State Rd 37, Bloomington, IN 47404, USA

Case Date:
9/17/2020

Hello, The volleyball court at Lower Cascades is falling apart. The net is pulled down and full of holes. Also the grass is creeping on the sand which does not make it a well defined court. The sand is also full of twigs and rocks. In addition, the nearby streetlight does not turn on so we can not keep playing after dark. My friends and I meet here every week to play because the Bryan park court is always taken.For all its faults it is dear to us so please fix it up so we and others may enjoy it for much longer. Thank you, Arin S.

I regularly walk through the east side of the Southeast Park. At the southern edge of the park near Arden and Montclair, a fairly massive branch has cracked on a tree in the backyard of a private home and ended up balancing on its narrow tip on park property. As long as the larger, upper part of the branch stays securely fastened to the neighbor's tree, it seems not to be an emergency, were a young person to decide to climb it and stress the crack, they could put themselves in danger and the city might be found liable. It seems to me that the city should trim the heavy branch so it has no chance to hurt anyone.

Switchyard Park

Hi there! First off, Switchyard Park is looking really good. I know finishing touches are still in process. I was excited to see that the dog parks are now open. However, several times now we've taken our small dog (below 25 pounds) to the small dog park only to see that number of people have their large dogs in the enclosure. It wasn't possible to use the park because the dogs were rather rough during play with the other dogs. The first time we thought maybe it was a fluke but the subsequent two times the same thing happened. The small sign on the placard isn't particularly visible so I'm wondering if it would be possible to have a sign directly on the entry gate labelled "small dogs" and a "large dog" sign on the opposite dog park gate? Perhaps you could also indicate either the weight maximum or example of standard dog breeds considered small v. large. I've seen such signs in other municipalities for their small v. large dog parks. Thank you!! Keep up the great work.

There is a giant wasp hive at hole 14 of Karst Farm Park disc golf course. I was playing today with 3 other people when my disc hit the tree and dropped straight down and landed by the tree. Apparently it hit the tree near the hive and startled the wasps. Unfortunately we did not know there is a hive and wasn't paying attention. When we walked to my disc for the next throw, we were swarmed by the wasps and 3 of us got stung multiple time. This tree is almost directly in front of the tee box of hole 14 and is likely to get hit very often. I have highlighted the approximate location on the picture attached. This hive needs to be removed for everyone's safety, especially for those who are allergic to bee and wasp stings. Thank you.

Can the City buy a leaf blower for the person who mows alone Sheridan and Southdowns east of Bryan Park? I noticed from Manor to Woodlawn on Sheridan the bike/pedestrian path is covered in grass clippings. This can be very dangerous for bicycles, as it can be very slippery and cause accidents. If the City properly equipped the employees, this could get cleaned up. This is not the first time I've noticed it. And the clippings sit for days and don't get removed. Finally reporting it. Let's make it safe out there!

Hello, I am writing to report that the rake/scraper for the bocce courts at Switchyard Park is missing, so as to make restoration of the courts possible only by bringing one’s own rake/scraper. Can you please tell me whether and when the rake/scraper will be replaced? Thank you!
