Climbing rope “rocket” has a broken connection. Safety concern for kids on the equipment.

The two south pickleball court nets have holes in them. The one nearest the parking has the tape's treads undone so the ball slips through. We used the warbands from a N95 mas to tie it up. Helps a little.
The top of the backstop on the ball field next to the pool looks like a tree branch fell on it. If so, then you have removed the branch and know the backstop needs to be repaired. Or did it just collapse?
Repairs - I was curious if there was a plan to repair some issues (chunks missing and cracks) with the Upper Cascades Skate Park? I can submit photos if needed.
MSI Mini truck is leaking oil on park paths
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
fireworks and loud music after 11pm and into early morning hours at Crestmont Park
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.
Attention to Southeast Park and facilities. We have lived in this neighborhood for close to 20 years and the upkeep of the playground is not being handled like in the past. There are weeds and thistle all over the playground area and no new mulch added. It is an eye sore and not a great environment for the kids to play. If someone could get a handle on the weeds and clean it up a bit it would be nice. We also play tennis and I have reported before that there needs to be a seasonal blow around the edges of the inside of the courts. The pine tree droppings are such a mess and attach to the balls and an annoyance to play. The droppings with acidic state also start "eating" away at the court. If someone could address and blow the courts it would be appreciated.
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.
