Please consider placing a restroom or port-o-let at Sherwood Oaks Park. It is a beautiful park but people use the woods as a restroom constantly.

For the second year in a row, the plants in the middle of the trail roundabout where the trail to Sherwood Oaks Park, Olcott Park and to Rhorer Road intersect have been cut down. Why? This circle contained native plants, including elderberry (which was much smaller this year after having been cut down last year). This year everything was cut right down to the ground. This does not match practices elsewhere along the trails.
Social gathers > 15 people not allowed per mayor! 30-50 people there with no mask on 10/13. Also tons of trash, clothing, blankets, tents, etc abandoned in park.
See picture. Previous problem still going on! Daily! Not only is there tons of trash and a large social gathering, there are daily fights, drug use, etc. There are tons of laws being broken daily. “resolved” means they are fixed. They are not and have been going on for years! Bloomington tax payers want their city and parks back! It’s your job Paula McDevitt. If you don’t want to do it, step down. You are being held accountable. The law is the law and not up to your opinions/discretion.
This park has become very dirty. Very overrun and an eye sore to the city.
Tents up overnight and people in park past time park closes.
Tents up overnight. Lots of trash. People breaking all kinds of laws. Looks like dozens of different people have reported similar problems. Why, over a period of several years can nothing be done? Seems like this needs to turn into a legal battle since the city who gets paid by taxpayers and is required to uphold laws and rules we agree upon refuses to properly address this problem.
Lots of people sleeping in the public seminary square park overnight. I was under the impression this isn’t allowed. Also lots of people littering and drinking alcohol in this public city park.
Seminary park is full of litter. Also several people being disorderly (yelling, screaming, fighting).
