On the webpage that describes the features of each City Park, Crestmont Park has nothing listed. As to avoid the appearance of bias against the low-income (ahem!), please fix this. Thank you. https://bloomington.in.gov/parks/parks
The tree inside the large dog park has a large diameter dip around the base of it. This dip is constantly filled with very rank smelling water and I along with all other dog owners have discussed how unhappy we are that we must bathe our dogs anytime we take them to get exercise. My dog needs consistent exercise and the best way to do this is at the dog park, but constant bathing can cause skin to dry out. At one point, the city had placed a temporary barrier around it so I believed there was hope for a solution, but since then the barrier has been taken down.
The last couple of times we've visited the Switchyard park to play Bocce, the benches along the courts were overrun with people sleeping, drinking, and smoking. Not a very inviting or family friendly atmosphere. We also witnessed the same behaviours, along with what appeared to be drug use in the shelter house next to the playground. Will there be any enforcement of the rules at the park?
I reported a potential safety issue at Bryan Park toddler playground almost 6 weeks ago on ticket 175059. This issue still has not been looked at resolved. Can someone please review this?
We're moving into yet another period with dangerous heat indexes, and the water fountains at Southeast Park still remain off. Can these please be turned on ASAP?
At about 8:30pm on 9/25/2024 a Marshall Security guy in a golf cart was blinding me and a friend with very bright LED lights as we were walking in Switchyard Park. This is unprofessional and unacceptable behavior the City must address with a contractor hired to keep the community safe. We were on a walking path that runs from the north side of the Skatepark to the B-Link crossing at Walnut. We were east of the skatepark and over the bridge before getting to the fence at Stryker Towing. This guy on the golf cart had his cart pointed from east to west in the middle of the path, right at us. The headlights are incredibly and painfully bright to look at in the night, causing us to shield our eyes to try to continue walking. He did not turn the lights off or try to angle away from us. He just sat there, pointing these very bright, LED lights right at us. The lights seem to be angled up and likely not the factory installed lights on the golf cart, something after market, intended to intentionally and knowingly render people unable to see as they approach.
8:04pm, Friday, November 8, 2024: A Marshall Security vehicle came out of Switchyard Park on the west side along Rogers without stopping, turned south on Rogers in front of traffic, and had a single headlight and a single taillight and no turn signals used. This was a small vehicle that has a small truck bed to it they use for patrols. This is not the first time I have seen Marshall Security disregarding traffic laws in that vehicle. Can the City address this? They need to repair the burnt out headlight and taillight as it is illegal to operate a licensed motor vehicle on the streets without those.
We know it is time for the outdoor market cause the market bucks table ain’t open on time. Had to wait over 20 minutes. The winter market never makes us wait. This happened over 5 times last year. They never there on time.
Hello- I just wanted to report a parks and rec truck driving on the clear creek trail between that road and rockport road driving way too fast down the middle of the road and narrowly running me off the trail and into the grass. This could have been really bad if I was elderly or disabled and unable to move out of the way. The plate # was 45090.
