The Twin Lakes Recreation Center continues to delay repairs on their turf field in places where the turf has worn too thin, in some places work all the way through to the concrete. We had multiple incidents in our league game this past Sunday where our players narrowly avoided serious injury because of this. Stepping on this spot the wrong way while running, or tripping or falling on it, can cause someone to tear the ligaments in their leg or break a bone. It's not easy to see when you're running fast, and not easy to avoid when you're playing a game on the field. We all have to sign liability waivers to play there, but we are also paying Twin Lakes to provide a safe environment, and this is not safe. Twin Lakes management said they plan to "have the company come patch once leagues are over. As bad as it has gotten we might move that up to spring break week." What does that do to protect our players for the next two weeks then? We need to do something about this spot now before someone gets hurt. Hundreds of people play on this field every week, including dozens of children on the youth soccer teams. What are they going to do to make it safe before the company comes to patch the field? Please respond so I know someone saw this. Thank you for your consideration. Best regards, Sarah Mosier 765-516-4862 s.e.mosier1@gmail.com

The turf field is becoming unsafe for those who regularly use it. We pay to rent that field out and are seeing more injuries due to missing turf, minimal turf, or very uneven repairs. This year compared to years past is claiming more leg injuries across a number of sports.

I am greatly disturbed and feel unsafe playing on this turf field at Twin Lakes. The gravel is shallow and unsafe for sports like soccer that involve a lot of sharp cuts and sliding. I play with the ultimate frisbee community on the weekends and many of us have gotten injured. I request that they install new turf or find a way to patch up the many holes and concrete patches.

The turf on the field needs some working on. Rock hard, terrible for knees or impact situations.

The condition of the turf on the walled-in multi-sport field is getting pretty dangerous. There are some large exposed seams and bald patches. I've seen someone roll their ankle right on the seam. Playing at the facility from January through March is one of my favorite things in all of Bloomington, so this is coming from a place of love. I'm hoping the playing surface is either replaced or repaired by next winter. Thanks

I've been playing Ultimate Frisbee in this community for a number of years. One of the more prominent, competitive, and fun seasons in the calendar is Winter League shiv has been held at Twin Lakes for a long as I can remember. I've also played in a few soccer outings on that indoor turf and I can only imagine how many other activities take place on the indoor soccer turf. In some years past, the turf was getting a bit past the normal wear-and-tear stage but this year has been ridiculous. There are some patches of the field that have worn down into the concrete below. This is far past unacceptable. Is love to continue to play Ultimate, soccer, and participate in other activities that may use this turf however if the conditions are not improved, I feel that I will need to seek other locations to enjoy these activities

The turf field at Twin Lakes is becoming unsafe to play on. Multiple spots have lost the rubber/grass/turf parts - which already causes slips and potential injuries. This particular picture shows a section that has worn completely through the turf/grass and all the way through the base layer and exposes the concrete floor underneath. At some point, a liability waiver won't cover injuries caused by unsafe facilities.

The trail that runs around Winslow Park has a large rotted tree that is likely to fall onto the trail. It is roughly where the trail goes behind 2824 s Wexley rd
