The net on court 2 of the pickleball courts is damaged and unusable. Looks like a pretty easy fix.

IU students are returning which will put even more pressure on the RCA pickleball courts. There are six permanent courts there (one with broken net) The Bloomington Pickleball Club has offered to put temporary lines on the tennis courts to add 6 more courts. There are a number of temp chalk and paint products out there that will do the trick short term. The lines will not affect the ability to play tennis (though no one really plays tennis here) The BPC has temp nets we can put out at least on weekends to help with the crowds. I suggest the city also adopt some court rules for how the courts get shared when there is a large crowd. Let’s get ahead of this before it becomes a bigger problem in a few weeks!
With the hot weather recently we've been taking our small children to the switchyard park playground earlier in the morning to beat the heat. It's really baffling as to why the restrooms here don't open until 10:00 AM. There are a lot of families on the playground before then that would really appreciate restroom access for small children.
My daughter dropped her keys in lake Griffey while out there in a canoe. We left a note on her car and spoke with Allie and Caroline. The locksmith can’t get a key made until July 30 or July 31. We left a note in there not to tow her car. It’s a silver Mitsubishi Outlander. My number is8123205339 if you have any questions. Thanks Sarah
Is Indiana Red Basketball affiliated with the City? The Coach, Rob Norris holds practices at the Twin Lakes complex. He charged $700 per player for travel basketball. Because of Covid-19, we only had two practices and no tournaments. He has refused to give a pro-rated refund. He is asking to apply the monies toward next year, or give a donation to Indiana Red. This seems dishonest to me!
The idea that Bloomington does not allow basketball or turf rentals at the TLRC is preposterous at this point in the pandemic. The positive case numbers have continued to drop, Monroe County has the lowest positive rate in the entire state, and TLRC has already shown they can operate safely. There is no reason at this point to continually take away opportunities from youth sports in Bloomington. It is long overdue that someone like John Turnbull is held accountable to create opportunities for youth sports instead of continually take them away and claim that "participation numbers are down" that is a direct reflection of the lack of initiative in his department and it starts at the top.
Portable toilets not usable today because toilets were filled with used needles. Empty liquor bottles also in toilets.
I wanted to bring to your attention that most of the lights on the tennis courts are not working in the evening.
The larger shelter at Building Trades Park looks like it will fall down any minute. I went there for a neighborhood meeting a couple weeks ago and am no longer comfortable scheduling our own neighborhood meetings in the park because it looks so unsafe
