Guards and managers at Bryan park go head first down slides and run around horseplaying. Isn't this against employee policy? Same rules should apply to guards for their safety.

The sidewalk at the north end of the tennis court in the southeast park has a large area filled with mud that is difficult for pedestrians to cross. It needs to be cleared and the drainage corrected.

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

Attention to Southeast Park and facilities. We have lived in this neighborhood for close to 20 years and the upkeep of the playground is not being handled like in the past. There are weeds and thistle all over the playground area and no new mulch added. It is an eye sore and not a great environment for the kids to play. If someone could get a handle on the weeds and clean it up a bit it would be nice. We also play tennis and I have reported before that there needs to be a seasonal blow around the edges of the inside of the courts. The pine tree droppings are such a mess and attach to the balls and an annoyance to play. The droppings with acidic state also start "eating" away at the court. If someone could address and blow the courts it would be appreciated.

Bicyclists in parks and on trails do not notify walkers that they are coming up behind them. Other countries have bells on the bikes which the bikers use to alert someone that they are coming up behind. It is startling to have someone fly by, esp when walking a dog. Dogs could dart out in the path of the bike if the walker is not aware the biker is behind them. The City needs signage in every park and on every trail to remind bikers that they need to signal their approach when coming up behind a walker, esp one with a dog/dogs.

Visited Bryan Park pool this weekend for first time with my 5 year old. We arrived Sunday afternoon, saw people in the pool, and joined them. Within minutes we had a teenage lifeguard yelling from across the pool to get out in our general direction. I was a little confused, and uncertain who exactly he was yelling out. This continued as he runs around the pool to yell specifically at me. I explained to him that I was unsure why exactly we were being told to get out of the pool when there were other patrons using it. He told us it was adult swim time and children were not allowed in the pool. After reflection on this I am a little frustrated. There was no signage indicating that children were not allowed in the pool at the time we arrived, and I feel like his response to the situation was completely unnecessary. I would suggest that signs be posted of some sort to indicate when children are not allowed in the pool at the very least. If this is supposed to be some known unwritten rule, I arrived not knowing it and that was not fair. Thanks for your consideration.

A beighbor tells me that these buttons are on-demand lighting for Bryan Park's tennis courts. When will they be labeled (and maybe finished to look permanent)?

This is to report a threat that we received at the Switchyard dog park against our dog. After one of our dogs barked and jumped at one of the dogs that was on leash at the entrance to the park, the owner yelled at us and threatened to have our dog put down. He then called security and in front of security staff member threatened to shoot our dog. We regularly bring our dogs to the dog park and they are very friendly with other dogs. We felt threatened during that incident and felt this should be a matter of record for the benefit of other park patrons.
