Why did the poolside basketball hoop at the Bryan Park pool get taken down midway through the summer?
This is supposed to be a city park built for parents to take their children to be kids and have fun. I took my niece to the park the other day and found pills in one of the tunnels, needles in the bathroom and on the play area, powder on the ground in the water area (which the drugged up homeless said their buddy spilt his meth there). Then I found out that they are allowed to camp there. There are plenty of places for them to sleep and leave their remnants that isn’t in the path of innocent children. You’ve been mayor since 2016 and you know the homeless has become a bigger problem every year. We can’t go to a park in Bloomington without someone drugged up and laying across the tables, walking around cussing and threatening anyone walking by. Homeless at every stoplight claiming to be veterans. The parks are the worse and I will make sure that everyone hears what is going on at the parks and our Mayor is allowing this to go on. My comments involve the parks, restroom, picnic areas, playgrounds and water areas.
Half of the 8 light fixtures across the two light poles at Switchyard Skatepark are out and have been for quite some time.
Lifeguard on duty lacks much focus on swimmers in the pool. For example, she has been thoroughly engrossed in her water bottle for the last 15 minutes: taking off the lid, gazing inside it, drinking from it, gazing inside it again, staring at the lid, taking another drink, etc. Fortunately, most lifeguards at Bryan Park pool are very attentive to their safety responsibilities.
These people have been sleeping under the Woodlawn shelter at Bryan Park - at least since this past weekend and have completely set up camp. I know this is a class A misdemeanor for trespassing. Please tell them they cannot sleep in the park legally.

I'm going to start a weekly inquiry for when the Switchyard Skatepark lights are going to be fixed. There are still many bulbs out and there are plenty of dark spots so skating past sundown becomes dangerous, despite lots of people still skating around that time.
On the north easy side of the Bryan Park tennis courts, along the north fence perimeter, there is a big hole in the fencing. The tennis balls can go out of the fence and into traffic. The fencing is also sticking out where people can get caught up or tripped or possibly cut by it. It is a dangerous situation.
The walking path/trail along Sare Road has been overgrown with weeds and growth all summer long. It's now narrowing the trail in certain areas so much that it's almost one way. This has caused issues with bicycle riders and walkers as well as trouble maintaining social distancing. It would be great if the sides of trail could be trimmed like the Creeks Edge Path. Thank you.
