The parking lot in Bryan Park near the sand volleyball court along Henderson has a problem. On the north side of the main play structure in the play surface there is a decent sized hole. This hole is big enough that a child or adult could easily step in it and be injured. The hole is through a rubber type play surface covering the ground. I'd recommend repairing this if possible.
Lock is gone and kids are turning on water
People using the field at RCA Park as a dog park; two bully-breed dogs off leash. Owners were smoking on park grounds and did not pick up dog feces. The dogs were not in an enclosed area and at one point ran onto the playground where there were small children playing. This was extremely unsafe. Dog owners drive a large red ford truck with black trim. License plate CBL917. Please investigate so these people know not to do this again. I fear for the safety of the people who visit the park. Thank you!
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!
Can the City buy a leaf blower for the person who mows alone Sheridan and Southdowns east of Bryan Park? I noticed from Manor to Woodlawn on Sheridan the bike/pedestrian path is covered in grass clippings. This can be very dangerous for bicycles, as it can be very slippery and cause accidents. If the City properly equipped the employees, this could get cleaned up. This is not the first time I've noticed it. And the clippings sit for days and don't get removed. Finally reporting it. Let's make it safe out there!
Parking lot striping on this lot in Bryan Park and other parking lot just north of this one on Henderson is very hard to see. Can you please re-stripe these parking lots so spaces are more evident? Thank you.
The Bryan Park Tennis courts have been packed the last few days with people playing doubles Tennis not following the CDC guidelines. This a public health issue.
Bolts holding down the edge of the ramp have pulled out. Huge trip hazard for the accessible ramp to this playground
Another little electrical box has been kicked over, possibly broken, on one of the street trees. Not sure if this is a parks thing or utilities.
Public defecation/feces is a common occurrence in the area near Seminary Park. Public restrooms need to be provided to prevent this public health hazard.
