Vandals are destroying the pine trees next to the beginning of the concrete trail by the playground in RCA park. Would signage more security help. Older kids are not supervised here.

Several overnight homeless camps/tents on west side of b-line across from the dog park at switchyard. Trash, personal possessions, needles, shopping carts, etc…littering the ground.
Forward to Mayor and whoever is involved in approving this. Same sex restrooms at Switchyard park?!! Seriously? I am a lifelong resident of Bloomington of 66 years. I am absolutely appalled at the restrooms being open to whatever sex wants to use them with each other. I had no idea until I visited for the first time and had to use the restroom. My mouth dropped when I read the signs on both sides of the building. What is wrong with the people doing this? For the love of God, put in women and men’s restrooms! The leadership in Bloomington is absolutely rotten in allowing women and children to share a restroom with males. I refuse to ever go to that park or any future park again that allows this. It’s obviously a democratic agenda that has destroyed the town of Bloomington. Keep men out of women and children’s restrooms! Where did you people come from to do such a thing and risk women and children to be sexually assaulted or preyed upon? We want to feel safe and comfortable when we use the restroom. Sick.
Bryan park 2-5 year old playground is in need of some updating. The floor is deformed and the tiles have shrunk which has caused large sections to pull apart, leaving large gaps that our 18 month old have tripped over and twisted her ankle in. The steps leading up to the slides also have multiple broken welds and are at risk of breaking while someone is climbing them. Is there a plan to update or replace the 2-5 year old playground in the near future? Thanks
There is currently a black vehicle with no license plate possibly drug related activity by the circle drive in RCA Park parking lot
There appears to be a tent erected on the foundation of the old shelter house that was torn down at RCA Park. You might want to have security take the time to walk back there.
Drug use going on right now on the quarry rocks at RCA Park. The security is a joke.
This is a thank you. I have recently noticed workers in Bryan Park playgrounds using a bucket and a spiked pole to pick up pieces trash. Such an improvement over using leafblowers. Please also answer this question: when workers are using leafblowers in the playgrounds, what is the reason? I have several times uReported my objections to that practice that stirs up dust, creates noise pollution, and fills the air with exhaust fumes. All that, it seemed to me, without any real purpose. But let me add: I have also noticed much less leafblowing recently. For that, THANKS!

Thank you! This morning I discovered that the boardwalk on the path through the middle of Bryan Park has had grit strips installed!! Thank you. This is the boardwalk I slipped on last January and injured my wrist badly enough to have a cast on it for 8 weeks. So, I am very grateful that the surface has been improved! Thank you!
