Broken memorial tree marker. I don't know what your policy is about these, but it seems sad for it to be in such bad shape.

I went to the RCA Park yesterday looking for the pickleball courts that I saw were located here when I searched on line. When I saw this sign I was confused. I didn't see any sign for pickleball so I thought I had the wrong place. I was about ready to leave when I finally noticed the pickleball courts beside the tennis courts. Why not put up a sign up for the pickleball courts to avoid confusion for others. Thank you
At 8:30 AM Thursday a group of "campers" were packing up, after a nights sleep perhaps, at the large shelter located towards the back of RCA park.
Karst farm park - one of the baby swings has somehow been adjusted and is now wonky. I can't use the other this morning due to fresh bird poop. Thank you for starting to address the damaged swingset.
Hi there. I wanted to first commend the parks department for putting their resources towards purchasing trees and having staff plant them in Schmalz Farm Park to help with the ecological restoration of the area. Projects like this are what make Bloomington such a great place to live! However, I have also been informed that, due to the complaint of one individual about taking up space for children to play, these trees are to be removed next week. I believe that this is a grave mistake - there are plenty of other parts of the park for children to play, the fragile young trees will likely not recover from another transplant, and the hard work of all of the parks employees will be for naught. I urge the parks department to reconsider this direction and leave the trees to prosper where they have been planted, helping to keep a Bloomington Park in great shape for years to come.
Someone has set up what looks like a junk store on the east side of People's Park up against the bike shop wall.
See case #201657. Two older men sit in the park nearly every day at around 11am smoking cigars right where people want to walk or sit. One of the men is extremely loud and yells vulgarities at people who ask him to stop smoking. Can someone in a position of authority please talk with them and ask them to not smoke anywhere in the park? They usually do it close to the bagel shop, where customers can smell them, but sometimes they sit closer to the bike shop, where everyone walks by on the sidewalk along Kirkwood. Please get them to stop.
trees in the 500 block of N. Washington are dead and several are missing
Is the Jackson Creek's basketball hoop's height adjustable. I would like for my son to practice on an 8 ft tall hoop.
The water at Ferguson dog park has been shut off. This is a pretty big problem because dog owners have been taking their dogs here to exercise them expecting that the water will be on to hydrate their dogs. There's no sign or explanation about why the water is off or when it will be back on.
