Dog water fountain at Bryan Park seems clogged/not draining. It was full before i pushed the button and i couldn't clear it by hand. It is good that it doesn't drain too fast, but too slow or not at all mean stale water and mosquito breeding grounds. Thanks!
Falling tree branch obstructing sidewalk and could potentially fall on someone
An active hornets nest is in a tree hanging directly over the eastbound walking/cycling path on Sheridan Dr. near Bryan Park. It’s on a lower branch that hangs over the path, and it’s perfectly positioned to cause stings on the head/face. We unfortunately found that out the hard way.
I am afraid of this park due to drugs, sleeping people and drinking. It sure sets a bad example for Bloomington as a friendly town.
Rather than blowing the dust around this and other Bryan Park playground, perhaps park employees could weed the mulch. I think it looks OK, but a better use of employee time, I think. Or take care of the weeds on the various spruce trees along the paths. That latter item may already be on a regular maintenance calendar, but that too would be more useful than dust blowing.
The pine tree on Sheridan Dr. just east of Manor Road was marked for removal on May 5, 2025. I thought it would be removed within 60 days, yet it is still (barely) standing and leaning heavily. This tree continues to be a significant hazard. Is there anyone who has this scheduled for removal yet? Or was it forgotten about?
Tuesday morning around 8 a parks employee was blowing dust around near the basketball courts and nearby parking lot. A leaf blower in both hands. Why? Air and noise pollution, carbon footprint. Years ago every morning except Sunday at 7:30 the playground on the Henderson side had dust blown around. Worse then because those blowers had more powerful motors. But why? What is accomplished? I mean this as a serious question. When I see employees spraying a picnic shelter with liquid from a tank, i figure that is disinfectant or pesticides for an area where people eat, drop food, attract pests. I get it. But the dust blowing, I just dont Thanks
There is tons of poison ivy next to the walking trail by the creek
This bench was likely hit by a car. There is no separation between the very fast cars on Woodlawn and this stretch of the path. Please fix the bench and put a barrier/curb between the street and the walking path, for safety
The sign for the Woodlawn shelter has a piece of board that has come off the signpost. The board is currently leaning against the sign. It's an interior trim board that needs to be put back on or replaced.
