Sherwood Oaks Park

Case Date:

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?

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.
