A Park’s personnel was using a leaf blower on the Pickleball courts at 8:30 in the morning. She spent 15 minutes on each court with people playing pickle ball. Felt like this was way too long to spend on each court. The noise was incredibly loud for us trying to play And the courts did not look like they needed a meticulous cleaning . Thanks
Please create more shade at Switchyard Park near the playground and splash pad. I was there with a young child and a baby this weekend, and it was impossible to keep the baby in shade while still having a view of the child on the playground or on the splash pad. The grates above the swings do not offer shade, and both shelters were being used by groups/parties. There should be shade structures at the playground and alongside the splash pad. I encountered a number of people with the same complaint.
There is almost no shade at all in the Switchyard playground. I understand, of course, that nothing can be done in terms of tree cover until the recently-planted ones grow and create more shade, but why in the world do the metal slats above the wooden benches along the west side of the playground not have some kind of canopy over them? They don't block sun or rain and seem to be completely useless. We love Switchyard but it's really inconvenient to not have any shade or rain protection over at least part of the park. I can't imagine it would be very expensive to install some kind of canvas cover above the slats, at the very least.
For a few years there was a poolside basketball hoop, which was a great source of entertainment at the pool for many people, especially people who do not use the diving boards or slides. Please reinstall this hoop. Thank you!
There used to be a clock above the lifeguard station. Could you please make an effort to replace it this season? It’s a big help to be able to keep track of time at the pool. (I don’t bring my phone or wear a watch in the pool.) Thanks!
Tree 35138 is rotting pretty badly on the sidewalk side
Hello, there is a tree down across the Bloomington Rail Trail about 100-150 yards south of the 1/2 mile marker (coming from the Country Club tarilhead). Thank you.
A pine tree in the creek on the south side of Sheridan between Sheridan and Southdowns is leaning a lot towards the road. Will you send a City arborist to check on the tree to see if it is at risk of falling into the street? Thanks.
The Bryan Park Pool chain link fence has a hole. Where the entrance/locker room building meets the Chain link fence. To the right back side of the building. You can see it standing in the parking lot. A fox or small child could fit through the hole
There is a bradford pear tree (an invasive species) on the city median with the street. I'd like to have this scheduled for removal
