Unacceptable turf field conditions. Visible concrete on the field.
Unacceptable turf field conditions. Visible concrete on the field.
Turf is hazardous! There are large divots that can cause serious injuries to players. Please advise!
The turf field is becoming unsafe for those who regularly use it. We pay to rent that field out and are seeing more injuries due to missing turf, minimal turf, or very uneven repairs. This year compared to years past is claiming more leg injuries across a number of sports.
I am greatly disturbed and feel unsafe playing on this turf field at Twin Lakes. The gravel is shallow and unsafe for sports like soccer that involve a lot of sharp cuts and sliding. I play with the ultimate frisbee community on the weekends and many of us have gotten injured. I request that they install new turf or find a way to patch up the many holes and concrete patches.
The turf on the field needs some working on. Rock hard, terrible for knees or impact situations.
The condition of the turf on the walled-in multi-sport field is getting pretty dangerous. There are some large exposed seams and bald patches. I've seen someone roll their ankle right on the seam. Playing at the facility from January through March is one of my favorite things in all of Bloomington, so this is coming from a place of love. I'm hoping the playing surface is either replaced or repaired by next winter. Thanks
I've been playing Ultimate Frisbee in this community for a number of years. One of the more prominent, competitive, and fun seasons in the calendar is Winter League shiv has been held at Twin Lakes for a long as I can remember. I've also played in a few soccer outings on that indoor turf and I can only imagine how many other activities take place on the indoor soccer turf. In some years past, the turf was getting a bit past the normal wear-and-tear stage but this year has been ridiculous. There are some patches of the field that have worn down into the concrete below. This is far past unacceptable. Is love to continue to play Ultimate, soccer, and participate in other activities that may use this turf however if the conditions are not improved, I feel that I will need to seek other locations to enjoy these activities
The turf field at Twin Lakes is becoming unsafe to play on. Multiple spots have lost the rubber/grass/turf parts - which already causes slips and potential injuries. This particular picture shows a section that has worn completely through the turf/grass and all the way through the base layer and exposes the concrete floor underneath. At some point, a liability waiver won't cover injuries caused by unsafe facilities.
In front of my house is this wooden structure holding a bunch of mailboxes. The structure is leaning over and the mailboxes aren't in the best condition. Who is responsible for this structure of assorted mailboxes? Can it either be fixed or even better, can the mailboxes go in front of the houses that they belong to and not mine?
