There are some very large holes on the north side, but almost centered on the large playing field. They are hidden from sight by the grass growing over them, but some are big enough for a foot/leg to fall into (as it happened today!) I assume an animal is busy digging these, but I know the city has filled them before, it would be great if someone could fill them again! Thanks so much!
A section of the wood fence at the Howe St entrance to the Buildings and Trade Park was taken down when the city cut down one of the trees along the street. It has been 2 months and the pieces of the fence are still where they were left on the ground. In true broken window fashion someone has now broken down the far end of the fence. This should have been repaired long ago.
The same group of people is claiming and staying in the gazebo at the Building and Trades park every single day. They are there from open to close, sometimes sleeping on the ground as if it is their personal camp site. Nobody else has a chance to use the shelter because this group is there the entire time the park is available for use. This was a problem last year, and the group referred to the park as their "turf" during an altercation with my neighbors. My house was recently broken into, and it concerns me to know that there are people who can just sit there all day and see exactly when we are coming or going. I don't mind people using the park (because public use is the purpose of a park), but I think it is unreasonable for one group of people to practically live in the park and claim the shelter every day, to the exclusion of other park users. It would be helpful if they could inhabit a different park - or just be somewhere else - on at least some days.
The drinking fountain near the fenced playground in Bryan Park is not working properly. When it is activated, it sprays water in several directions. Thank you!
Dead tree limb hanging low over sidewalk.
There has been a burnt plastic smell in 9th Street park for months during business hours. I finally caught Bloomington iron & metal in the act. They are using some sort of torch or arc cutter to cut painted metal and it is burning off the enamel as they go. It has pretty much ruined 9th st park. I'm sure this isnt you guys' responsibility, but its your problem (sorry). Thanks! The photo was taken from the b line, and in person the cloud of smoke is very visible.
Dead rabbit by east swings at butler park. Rabbit at North-west corner of raised area around swings. Thanks!
One can see that this lamp on the NE corner of the picnic area on Hopewell Commons has one of its pair of lights out. You might want to have the contractor replace this obviously faulty bulb.
We would like to perform some “course maintenance “ on the disc golf course at Crestmont. Specifically, there is a large branch that is obstructing hole 13s tee pad. We would like to have it cut down or have permission for us to cut it down. There are also some smaller shrubs that obstruct the path to 14s basket.
Our family loves this park but is lacking a bathroom.We were wondering if there was any way to get a port a potty?
