We joined an event Sunday, 9/17. It was advertised as a muscial event at the Main Performance Stage. I had several handicapped people to transport there. There was NO map of Switchyard park. There was no accessibility information. There was no information about a drop off place for people in wheelchairs or walkers. A map showing walkways, accessibility entrances, and all venues for Switchyard is needed!
Climbing rope “rocket” has a broken connection. Safety concern for kids on the equipment.
Two cans of wasp POISON and what looks like a big spill of it left in the small dog park. Picture taken Saturday 8/2/2025 in the evening.
On August 29, 2025 at approximately 6:30 PM, a City of Bloomington employee wearing a grey shirt labeled SECURITY was seen at Switchyard Park (under a shelter near benches, Northeast corner near the playground) using his cane to abuse a homeless person's dog with no prior exchange between the dog or owner and that employee witnessed. I was told by a bystander that the employee approached to hit the dog due to "complaints of the dog biting children," however, there were no children present near the dog at the time, and complaints like that should be handled by Animal Control. During this incident, I was informed that there are security cameras present in the area. I ask that if this is the case, footage is reviewed and the employee is educated on handling animal complaints in an appropriate and non-abusive manner.
Southeast Park has ground nesting bees living under the benches surrounding the playground. Please Take care to remove before someone gets stung bad
My daughter was on the swing and it broke underneath her. She is ok but it is unusable.

I'm an Adopt-a-Trail volunteer and was taking care of Southeast Park this morning and noticed a lot of ground bees (they looked like honeybees) just east of the park pavilion at Southeast Park (just north of the playground). The bees were swarming around a patch of wild garlic. I'll include this on my volunteer report but figured it warrants a uReport due to the proximity of the hive to the pavilion with the picnic table.
Southeast Park the water at the two fountain has not been turned on. Is there a reason or just an oversight? The dog is really disappointed.
The sidewalk on the northside of the Southeast Park tennis courts (along that area ) is full of mud and debris, and unusable at times. There is also a stack of tree limbs that need cleared in that area.
