Our run club meets at 6pm Mondays and Wednesdays and leaves for our run at 6:05pm. The restrooms (scheduled to close at 6pm) typically close at 5:55pm. It would REALLY help our members out if those restrooms could stay open until 6:15pm on those nights of the week - Monday and Wednesday. Thanks!
Portable toilets not usable today because toilets were filled with used needles. Empty liquor bottles also in toilets.
The skate park drain is clogged so water is just sitting there when it hasn't rained in a while.
One of the toilets won't stop flushing.
You made sure to label single use restrooms as for "all genders" but in throwing up the rules at the park, you made sure to mention to not change diapers outside of the restroom. But none of them have the labels for changing tables. You are so worries about offending anyone, you left out parents. Great job. Signs would be nice. Or changing tables in each stall. Something so I don't have to lay by 1 year old on the concrete that people have peed on. Thanks
On Sunday 12/4 at about 12:00 PM, I went to use the Electric Vehicle Chargers in the Switchyard parking lot. The two chargers on the south side would not activate when I plugged the cables into my car. I tried both of them. The two north chargers were in use by other cars and appeared to be working. I did not see the power light indicator on the two south stations, so it might just be a switched off breaker or it could be something wrong with the stations. Regardless, it should be looked into.
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.
I work for The Villages Healthy Families program. We are a non-profit child welfare agency. I am looking for a fee waiver for a room rental at Twin Lakes to host a free, public class on infant safe sleep education. The class takes between 30-45 minutes and attendees receive a pack n’ play at the conclusion. There are no income requirements for the class. Would the Parks Department be able to waive the fee for this class? I offer it throughout the county to make it more accessible for those with transportation barriers. Thanks for the consideration!
I sent this to mcdevitp@bloomington.in.gov, sternerm@bloomington.in.gov, eadsd@bloomington.in.gov, barrickb@bloomington.in.gov today, but I wanted to submit it here too so that it's entered into the uReport records and doesn't get lost. This is in regard to the hole in the turf field at the Twin Lakes Recreation Center, where the turf has worn through to the concrete and almost caused some serious injuries to our league players on Sunday, February 19th. Our league ends after March 5th and I'm worried someone will get seriously hurt between now and then unless something is done to cover or patch that spot on the field during that time. Hi Paula, Rebecca, Mark, and Daren, Thank you for your quick response. I do appreciate that you are inquiring to see if the work can be moved up to spring break week (March 13). However, this doesn't answer my question about what they are going to do to make the field safe to play on in the two weeks before that time. We still have to play on the field during those two weeks (unless of course Twin Lakes would like to refund us the money for those days and reschedule our field time - something that would need to be discussed with the leagues). Is there anything Twin Lakes can do to patch or cover that spot in the immediate term until the repairs can be made? We just don't want anyone to get hurt, and I know of course you must have the same concern. Best regards, Sarah Mosier 765-516-4862 s.e.mosier1@gmail.com
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
