I'm writing to express my gratitude for the efforts Bloomington Parks and Rec is making to support reduce pollution, save money, and support native species and ecosystem services in our city parks. I've been particularly delighted to see former areas of lawn in Winslow Park and Crestmont Park converted to no mow zones and planted with native trees! After just a short period of time, these areas are already supporting wildlife and adding natural beauty (asters were blooming today!) in a ways that mowed lawns never could. Thank you for supporting these no mow zones - I'd love to see more of them!

I found the metal sign for not smoking in the children's play area ripped off and left along Longview Avenue. I brought it up to the play area and put it under the oak tree along the SW edge of the park. There I also found two wood rails that might have been the base for the sign, and a fresh hole.

A question about memorial trees. I just noticed this London plane tree planted not far from the stump of a sycamore. I am curious why a non-native tree was chosen, instead of a native sycamore. I urge you to plant native trees in our park and tree plots, for various reasons including avoiding a repeat of those Callery pears,adjacent to the tennis courts, planted and then cut down later when we learned better. There are so many Callery trees along the B-Line that, I assume, will have to be cut down and replaced

Light on the basketball courts is broken. Would be awesome if there were more lights too. My friends and I play here and with the days getting shorter it would be great to be able to play in the evenings.
