Someone has covered the drinking fountain furthest from the parking lot (nearest the swings) in dog poop. The dog bowl portion of the fountain is especially covered.

Please install any sort of restroom at Sherwood Oaks Park. Our kids pee in the woods, we see other people going into the woods to pee all the time. I don't understand why there can't at least be a port a potty. I have made this same ureport before, maybe annually. It is a beautiful park that we visit frequently but to not have some sort of restroom is just ridiculous. I hear about Bloomington Parks and Rec being one of the top in the nation, how can that be true - when you have to pee in the woods it feels like a 3rd world country. The skate park at upper cascades has a nice port a potty, why is that an option there but not at this beautiful park where families spend time?
A tree has fallen and is blocking the trail back at the end of the Sherwood Oaks Park, as it approaches Clairmont Pl (cul de sac above)
The water fountain to the west of the tennis court is running and cannot be stopped.
There has been a fish kill in Jackson creek, just off the trail. The water is clouded, smells foul. Dead fish are all over the rocks.
My husband and I are grateful for the carefully cleared Jackson Creek Trail. Would it be possible to also clear the access sidewalk from the Sherwood Oaks parking lot to the trail itself? Negotiating it in snowy weather is a challenge for us elderly.
This sidewalk on the east side of the bridge at the Goat Farm has poor drainage and this pool has been there for 3 days. At first I thought it was due to snow, but now that it's melted I can see that it's due to the ground next to the sidewalk being too high.

Sorry for the duplicate, I forgot to include the photo and I didn't see a way to add it after.
The grill has been removed from the Sherwood Oaks picnic shelter. Please replace the grill ASAP to make this picnic shelter fully functional for the summer. Thank you.
Dead animal (racoon?) on the bank on the east side of the bridge/creek.
