A Park’s personnel was using a leaf blower on the Pickleball courts at 8:30 in the morning. She spent 15 minutes on each court with people playing pickle ball. Felt like this was way too long to spend on each court. The noise was incredibly loud for us trying to play And the courts did not look like they needed a meticulous cleaning . Thanks
Yesterday while hiking in the woods at RCA Park with my grandchildren There was a tent pitched back in the woods. Today in the same place the tent was gone but belongings including a backpack and shirt were there. There was also evidence of a campfire. A live tree had suffered damage from the fire. Please check into this. It is just off a major dirt path and visible from the path. Leaving their stuff there suggests they might return. I let BPD know. I am attaching photos here.
A branch is suspended precariously over rail trail a little south of country club road
They’ve been told Not to camp. 20/30 tarp by 2 trees, looks like it's an apartment with all their tarps. Witnesses defecate, Shoot up (drugs) Just wants his city back. Mayor’s office and Prosecutor to leave them alone. If I get caught with a syringe Very upset. Tired of seeing them. Embarrassing. It’s frustrating Once a week I will start calling. I will not suggest anyone come to our city. They’re not homeless. Drug addicts. They dance in the middle of the street. Does want something else to happen. Use property and let it go. The needle exchange climb rate started climbing.
Asi should keep their mouth shut and keep their opinions and prejudice to themselves I am a tax paying working hard working man I was came up a pond by two ASI security guys and they were completely rude shining lights in my face like I like it was some sort of police officers and I was doing some sort of bad and I was simply having picnic with my sister and they were shining lights in her face while she's trying to put her picnic baskets and things up and blinding her and blinding me being rude saying we was all kinds of things that were not and I really have a problem with this I want to keep doing this I will sue as I for prejudice I was recording it and I will use it in a court of law and they need to get some respect for everyone that is in the park or trails I might even be the next homeless or drug addict they're saying we was it simply dose not matter what they think they are looking at and shining lights in the face of it was so rude we will be filling out great grievance suits for the city of Bloomington and ASI security better whatch that My pen is still mighter than the sword always.
trails need cut back, mostly thorns and branches
You mentioned the new traction strips on North side of Bryan Park. I think they r very bad because they are too tall and make walking/jogging hurt the feet and ankles due to height and are too “ bumpy” because of height. They should be flatter to not interfere. I’d recommend removing. I purposely now avoid that bridge or walk in grass
There is a tent pitched along the woods trail at TCA Park in the woods.This is not safe, hygienic, or fair to park users. Please, do something about this. Your park security is useless. They do not patrol the trails. Please do something about this. Worse city government in 50 years. Do you jobs that we are paying you to do. RCA should not become another Seminary or mimic what goes on behind Community Auto. I do not feel safe taking kids in the woods anymore. Camping is prohibited here. Enforce the law!
There is a dog off leash at the foundation of the old shelter house that was torn down. There really needs to be an animal control person at the park from time to time. Or security.
There is almost no shade at all in the Switchyard playground. I understand, of course, that nothing can be done in terms of tree cover until the recently-planted ones grow and create more shade, but why in the world do the metal slats above the wooden benches along the west side of the playground not have some kind of canopy over them? They don't block sun or rain and seem to be completely useless. We love Switchyard but it's really inconvenient to not have any shade or rain protection over at least part of the park. I can't imagine it would be very expensive to install some kind of canvas cover above the slats, at the very least.
