There is a large and active hornets' nest in the juniper tree where the Bryan Park walking trail converges with the Henderson St. sidewalk. The nest is on the east side of the tree and is partially hidden by the branches.
Bubbling water off the first base line. Possible leak in irrigation line. Pooling water.
Can someone please explain why I'm being forced to listen to an outdoor religious concert blasting on Sunday evening through the whole Broadview neighborhood. I don't know if this is at switchyard or the warehouse or what but the nose is rattling the dishes in my house and I live on Rogers and country club. If these people have a permit then whoever gave it to them needs to be fired. And if they don't then they need a severe fine. Absolutely ridiculous.
I am trying to register for a Parks & Rec community event. The website says that I need to have an account. When I try to register for an account, it will not allow me to do so because the Phone #1 field (which is mandatory) is not working properly. As soon as you move to another field, the phone number disappears. I re-entered it multiple times and it will not stay in the field. I tried 3 different browsers all with the same result. At this time, I am unable to register for an account on the city webtrac.bloomington.in.gov/ site or register and pay for the event that I am trying to attend.
Follow-up on case #205921 Response: Caden Swanson commented on this case. CBU Eng investigated this on 9/26/2025 and found this to be from the storm system originating from the sloped area near the pool. No action needed. Question: In the photo with thise new case # (the left half of the photo i sent with the original case) there is a access ("manhole") cover much closer to the central path. Is that a cover opening to a storm drain that somehow connects ground water with the white PCP pipe draining in to the Creek? Thanks in advance. Caden Swanson commented on this case.

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!
At the Winslow Woods Nature Trail, up on the hill as you're heading to the streets behind the trail (E. Azelea Ln and S. Bent Tree Dr.), there is a yellow jacket nest buried to one side in a thicket. I have noticed them the past couple days I've been out there getting more aggressive and expanding their territory. I was also stung by one before I knew they were there. They seem to be increasing in number, so wanted to let you know to warn anyone who might be allergic, or if children/pets are out there. Thanks!
Someone is camping in this park
See case #201657. Two older men sit in the park nearly every day at around 11am smoking cigars right where people want to walk or sit. One of the men is extremely loud and yells vulgarities at people who ask him to stop smoking. Can someone in a position of authority please talk with them and ask them to not smoke anywhere in the park? They usually do it close to the bagel shop, where customers can smell them, but sometimes they sit closer to the bike shop, where everyone walks by on the sidewalk along Kirkwood. Please get them to stop.
Congrats on the Bryan Park Arboretum designation. A suggestion: a guide to all the trees, accessible by QR code to Park visitors. (Assuming you don't plan on physical IDs like the ones in IU's Arboretum). Perhaps include the trees along Sheridan Creek between Woodlawn and Highland(?). Would be a great educational resource. Some years you had a tree identification activity (submit IDs, get a certificate), intended for kids, but I enjoyed doing it.
