I found the metal sign for not smoking in the children's play area ripped off and left along Longview Avenue. I brought it up to the play area and put it under the oak tree along the SW edge of the park. There I also found two wood rails that might have been the base for the sign, and a fresh hole.
I'm writing to express my gratitude for the efforts Bloomington Parks and Rec is making to support reduce pollution, save money, and support native species and ecosystem services in our city parks. I've been particularly delighted to see former areas of lawn in Winslow Park and Crestmont Park converted to no mow zones and planted with native trees! After just a short period of time, these areas are already supporting wildlife and adding natural beauty (asters were blooming today!) in a ways that mowed lawns never could. Thank you for supporting these no mow zones - I'd love to see more of them!
There is poop all the way down the big purple slide. Park ridge park.

There has been a group of (potentially homeless) people that have been staying at the corner near the building, I’ve always tried to avoid them while walking my dog but tonight their dog ran all the way across the street and attacked my dog. While security has told me not to walk my dog in the park past closing time they have driven past the group with the aggressive dog several times and not done anything. If Bloomington wants to enforce park hours then they need to do it to benefit safety as there are many people who walk their dogs near there every night, and having a 100 pound dog attack your dog is not good
