The 3 large swings for parents to sit on at the South end of the Switchyard playground. Please fix them so they don't squeak or moan when someone is swinging. I live in the mobile home park just west of the playground, and I love hearing the sounds of the park. Except for those darn swings moaning and squealing! Can you please engineer something to stop them from making noise? Thank you!
We joined an event Sunday, 9/17. It was advertised as a muscial event at the Main Performance Stage. I had several handicapped people to transport there. There was NO map of Switchyard park. There was no accessibility information. There was no information about a drop off place for people in wheelchairs or walkers. A map showing walkways, accessibility entrances, and all venues for Switchyard is needed!
Climbing rope “rocket” has a broken connection. Safety concern for kids on the equipment.
Two cans of wasp POISON and what looks like a big spill of it left in the small dog park. Picture taken Saturday 8/2/2025 in the evening.
On August 29, 2025 at approximately 6:30 PM, a City of Bloomington employee wearing a grey shirt labeled SECURITY was seen at Switchyard Park (under a shelter near benches, Northeast corner near the playground) using his cane to abuse a homeless person's dog with no prior exchange between the dog or owner and that employee witnessed. I was told by a bystander that the employee approached to hit the dog due to "complaints of the dog biting children," however, there were no children present near the dog at the time, and complaints like that should be handled by Animal Control. During this incident, I was informed that there are security cameras present in the area. I ask that if this is the case, footage is reviewed and the employee is educated on handling animal complaints in an appropriate and non-abusive manner.
Overflowing trash at picnic area between dog parks
On Saturday, November 22, 2025, during the farmers market this morning, I observed at least 3 different kids on electric motorcycles traveling at a high rate of speed along the B-Line Trail through Switchyard Park. The motorcycles are not e-bikes as they appear to have no crank arms for pedals and the kids are not pedaling. They are racing through the park on the trails with complete disregard for the safety of others. There was also a kid on a gasoline powered motorcycle riding on the B-Line Trail. Can the city police enforce the illegal riding of motorcycles, electric or otherwise, on the trails in town? The use of electric motorcycles on the trails should not be permitted.
The fake grass on the east side of the north tunnel at the Switchyard playground is ripped and loose. Kids step out of the tunnel and onto this damaged fabric that slides under foot and is very dangerous. A fall and injury hazard as of 2/28/2026.

Accessibility issue. One of the sections of covered tables at Switchyard Park is blocked off. The other side is open, but there are no wheelchair accessible table on that side. I can’t sit at any of the available tables. The other seating area needs to stay open during Food Truck Friday, or you need to move some accessible tables to the other side. ATTN Michael Shermis
