I noticed on Sunday 8/11/24 two vehicles parked on the grass at Bryan Park.b there was a party at the Woodlawn shelter, and people just decided to park on the grass, perhaps so that they could more easily carry items into the shelter. This is the third time I've seen that this year, and it's a terrible precedent to be set. There is a split rail fence along part of the park property on Woodlawn. Could Parks and rec consider extending that along with signage that says no parking? When people rent the shelter, that rule can be reinforced in the agreement to rent for the day. People, to be honest, are pretty stupid. There are no signs that say "no cars", and I think it needs to be explicitly stated. Otherwise, people are going to keep driving into the Woodlawn shelter area.

There’s a street light on a utility pole that is above the north east corner of the basketball courts of the building and trades park that has had a pine tree grow up around it. The light appears to be broken/nonfunctioning. It would be nice to have a functioning light(s) on the court.

There is a small pot hole developing on the BLine trail heading West on the right side moving West. It's just about half way between Fairview St. and Moravec Way. Dangerous for all community members! Small now, but soon to be larger as pot holes go!

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.

This afternoon 10-24-2024 I witnessed a school aged child (7/8 years old) defecate and urinate at the top of the largest playground slide at the Buskirk/Waldron Park. The feces and urine rolled down the entirety of the large slide. The parents cleaned the slide with a wet wipe as far as they could reach from the bottom, but surely not the whole length and definitely not sanitized. Can you please clean and sanitize the whole thing? Thank you!

Residents of this house do open burning frequently in the back yard, even when conditions are very dry. The flames sometimes reach 8-10 feet, putting adjacent houses at risk. They also burn tree stumps in the front yard. Isn’t open burning illegal in Bloomington?
