tree down in the park
Leonard Springs Park, parking lot Today 3/12/26 at around 4:30pm I was approached by a man just outside the parking lot. While I approached the lot, he was sitting in his car with the windows down playing loud music. When I got closer, he got out of this car and started walking down the gravel path in my direction. When he was about 10 feet away he said to me: "Thats a pretty cat." (I had my 90lb dog with me.). I laughed and said thanks and kept walking. He then stopped and asked "Are you bouncing right now?" I didn't understand him and just said No and kept walking. He then mumbled a bit and said something like "yea just asking, if you weren't leaving, I was gonnna go take some pictures and you could come." I told him I was yea I was leaving and walked away. Nothing egregious, but the interaction made me uncomfortable. It felt like a predatory interaction and I wouldn't want anyone else to experience this. If I didn't have my dog with me, I would have felt unsafe. I didn't get a license plate, but he was driving a white, four-door car, maybe a Ford Focus. Not brand new, but not old either. He was roughly 5'10 - 6ft. Sandy blonde hair. Wearing all black - sneakers, skinny jeans, a tattered leather jacket. He was a normal to thin build. White male.

Hello, I was just wanting to Voice my opinion on RCA Park Pickleball courts. Like many others I play there often. There are often so many people, We have a big waiting line to play pickle ball. However, I rarely see anyone using the tennis courts and have only seen both courts being used at one time maybe once. The tennis courts at RC Park are very rarely used and are used for a short time. It would be great if we could convert all of RCA Park courts to Pickleball courts. there are plenty of other tennis courts through out bloomington. pickleball is a sport that generally congregates a lot of players together at one time. So hopefully you will at least consider building more Pickleball courts at RCA park. let’s make RCA Park the centerpiece for Pickleball in Bloomingto. by the way if you look at the average age of the pickleball player, it continues to drop very quickly clearly. it’s a sport taking off with younger people as well… which makes it something other than a fad.
Not enough pickle ball courts. Need more!
We need more and better maintained Pickleball courts at RCA Park. That seems to be the hub of Pickleball IN Bloomington. Very few people ever use the tennis courts there. however, many people use and wait on Pickleball courts.
The current number of courts (6) is completely inadequate. There are so many players in the mornings and evenings that you have to wait 30 minutes or more to play a single game. The solution is to add permanent pickleball courts where the remaining two tennis courts are now and put up a basic set of rules that encourages players to rotate off the court after they finish their game. Those tennis courts are rarely used for tennis and there are more than enough courts in other locations around the city.

The sidewalk north of the tennis courts in the Southeast park does not drain and as a result the sidewalk is frequently muddy and difficult for pedestrians to navigate. You cleaned off the mud last spring, but the underlying lack of drainage has not been addressed. And during the winter although the rest of the walkways around the Southeast park were welll plowed, the stretch along the north of the tennis courts was not plowed at all.
