People are again living in the shelters at Butler Park. Not only are they preventing others from using the facilities but they are leaving trash, clothing, and other messes when they do leave.
People driving off road vehicles on Jackson creek trail, driving on,the basketball court, driving on the playground a 6pm in the evening with people playing basketball, little kids on the play ground and users on the trail. The also drove them in the grass through the butterfly area trails. Black Nissan truck with trailer two off road vehicles. Guess you need a sign what would seem to be obviously irresponsible. It was a family with 2 adults and two, maybe three kids.
My family and I went to the concert in the park last night (8/11/19) at Bryan Park. My two year old daughter needed her diaper changed while we were at the event. I was shocked and hugely disappointed in the city when I realized that there are no diaper changing stations in the public restrooms...at a park/playground no less! I had two choices, lay my daughter on the dirty floor of a public restroom or lay in her grass at busy event to change her diaper. We parked to far away for it to be reasonable for me to walk all the way back to our car to change her. I can't believe that it's 2019 and the public restrooms (women's and MEN'S) at our city parks aren't equipped with this basic item. Time to step it up Bloomington.
Lots of adults sleeping in the shelters and childrens' play equipment lately, especially today. Building & Trades park. Can you let me know the proper contact or method to request action on this issue? Thanks!
A water fountain has become stuck, unusable in current state.
Really like the work done at Olcott Park!!! I use the park almost daily and it is always well maintained, clean and friendly. Nice job!!! Thank you.
Your online reservation system for parks is flawed. https://webtrac.bloomington.in.gov/wbwsc/webtrac.wsc/search.html When I search for Winslow Woods Shelter for 9/21/2019 with starting time 8am, I get a result of "Unavailable." If I change the starting time to 12am, I get a result of "6am-11am Available." This is clearly incorrect behavior and has caused us continued confusion starting at least since Fall 2018. This should be a high priority item for fixing, since it makes the reservation system very unreliable.
The young kids playground at Bryan Park has some dangerously large gaps in the ground cover surface. This is the park in the north west corner along Henderson. See the included photo. These gaps are wide enough and deep enough for a size 11 adult male shoe to get tripped up in, let alone a child running and having fun. This needs fixed.
