Swing seat damaged at Waldron hill third street playground
Swing seat damaged at Waldron hill third street playground
The young kids playground at Bryan Park has some dangerously large gaps in the ground cover surface. This is the park in the north west corner along Henderson. See the included photo. These gaps are wide enough and deep enough for a size 11 adult male shoe to get tripped up in, let alone a child running and having fun. This needs fixed.
Your online reservation system for parks is flawed. https://webtrac.bloomington.in.gov/wbwsc/webtrac.wsc/search.html When I search for Winslow Woods Shelter for 9/21/2019 with starting time 8am, I get a result of "Unavailable." If I change the starting time to 12am, I get a result of "6am-11am Available." This is clearly incorrect behavior and has caused us continued confusion starting at least since Fall 2018. This should be a high priority item for fixing, since it makes the reservation system very unreliable.
A water fountain has become stuck, unusable in current state.
People driving off road vehicles on Jackson creek trail, driving on,the basketball court, driving on the playground a 6pm in the evening with people playing basketball, little kids on the play ground and users on the trail. The also drove them in the grass through the butterfly area trails. Black Nissan truck with trailer two off road vehicles. Guess you need a sign what would seem to be obviously irresponsible. It was a family with 2 adults and two, maybe three kids.
People are again living in the shelters at Butler Park. Not only are they preventing others from using the facilities but they are leaving trash, clothing, and other messes when they do leave.
The plants alongside the trail at Butler Park just West of the bridge are so overgrown as to inhibit use of the path. I suggest they be trimmed back.
The drinking fountain by the playground in Southeast park seems not to drain properly - all the water pours out underneath the bowl.
At Broadview Park, the gates are just sort of hanging there. They seem to be off their hinges. Thank you!
I went to the RCA Park yesterday looking for the pickleball courts that I saw were located here when I searched on line. When I saw this sign I was confused. I didn't see any sign for pickleball so I thought I had the wrong place. I was about ready to leave when I finally noticed the pickleball courts beside the tennis courts. Why not put up a sign up for the pickleball courts to avoid confusion for others. Thank you
