There is a huge grassy plot of land next to Sherwood Oaks Park that has gone seemingly unused for years. It would be great if this expanse of land could be used to create a dog park. There are many dog owners in the Bloomington community that frequent Sherwood Oaks Park, and adding a simple dog park there would give this unused plot of land some purpose and revitalize the park as a whole. This grassy expanse is located alongside the Jackson Creek Trail, a long sidewalk that many dog owners use, myself included. Having the dog park located here would be highly accessible, useful, and convenient. As you may already know, there is already a dog park in Bloomington called Ferguson Dog Park; however, it is in a secluded location and quite far off from local neighborhoods. Commuting there and back is a hassle, and I'm sure many other Bloomington dog owners would agree. This proposed dog park wouldn't have to be fancy. I suggest 2-3 separate fenced-in areas (each area suits different dog sizes/mannerisms) as well as a shaded picnic/sitting area. A dog wash station would be ideal, but not necessary. These suggestions are based off of the design of Ferguson Dog Park, so Ferguson can definitely be consulted for ideas during the creation of this proposed Sherwood Oaks dog park. In the picture above, the dotted lines represent a rough idea for the fencing that would separate the dog park into the 3 areas.

Re: 168092, filed 4/14/19 and not answered. When you installed the lights along the paved path between Olcott Park and Sherwood Oaks Park, you disturbed a wide swathe of wildfowers. These include Bloodroot, Jack in the Pulpit, Toadshade Trillium, Larkspur, Trout Lily, Cut Leaved Toothwort, Harbinger of Spring and Spring Beauty. Now you have planted grass, which does not belong in a woodland, and when mowed will further damage these native plants. This bit of woods is most unusual in the city for its native plants and trees. Is there not anyone in the Parks Department who values this? We are losing our native plants.

A newly placed construction sign at the corner of Curry Pike and 46 contradicts the no turn on red signs that have been posted for quite some time. the new sign advises a yield when turning on red to those who are doing a u-turn. This indicates that a turn on red is permissible, again, in contradiction to the long posted signs.

Parks and Rec Friends - We appreciated that you put down rock on the Creek's Edge Trail earlier this summer where one of the detention ponds drains. However, this past weekend's rains have washed the bulk of that rock from this crossing. We would appreciate a repair of this issue. Thank you!

The Switchyard Park skate park is finished, but there's still construction around it. This is the obvious reason it's still closed, but there is a plethora of kids that skate it every day and regularly get kicked out. This doesn't seem sustainable, and I would expect that it's only going to create ruthlessness and ignorance of the law in some of the kids. Right now, it's schedule to be closed off all summer and fall until the rest of the park is scheduled to be finished in November. This seems unreasonable. It would take comparatively little effort to finish a small path from the park to the B-line and move the construction fence line to the other edges of the park.
