Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: Please install any sort of restroom at Sherwood Oaks Park. Our kids pee in the woods, we see other people going into the woods to pee all the time. I don't understand why there can't at least be a port a potty. I have made this same ureport before, maybe annually. It is a beautiful park that we visit frequently but to not have some sort of restroom is just ridiculous. I hear about Bloomington Parks and Rec being one of the top in the nation, how can that be true - when you have to pee in the woods it feels like a 3rd world country. The skate park at upper cascades has a nice port a potty, why is that an option there but not at this beautiful park where families spend time?

Thanks for this. Unfortunately we can’t just put a port-a-let in at Sherwood Oaks because virtually all of that park is in the floodplain. We have been considering if there is a location by the barn at Rogers Fanily Park that we might be able to add one, and there is also the restroom at Olcott.
