The bathroom at lower cascades is locked and it’s spring break. Countless kids are finding a tree to use. Could you open the bathrooms for the season or for atleast spring break? Thanks!

A large pine tree is leaning toward the street (Queen's Way). It appears to be leaning more whenever there is a strong wind or heavy rain. It may fall onto the sidewalk and into the street soon. It is a very large tree and could cause serious damage to a pedestrian or vehicle.
The playground at Bryan Park off of Henderson St. has an extremely loud swing set that just needs some WD-40 or something! It’s just super loud when used; we can hear it inside of our house across from the park. Thank you!
On some Saturdays and/or Sundays there are groups of adult flag football and basketball BLASTING loud and occasionally vulgar music. It is very disturbing while we are upstairs lifting weights or on an adjacent basketball court. Please consider adding a policy of NO MUSIC period. We understand that music is needed for the gymnastics meets you host and for the silver singles exercise classes during the week. Thank you
Switchyard park has become unsafe. None of my mom friends want to hang out here. There’s men lurking around and sleeping in playground areas , it feels like they are watching the kids. Bloomington has to do something about the homeless situation or at least keep the homeless off the playgrounds!! Very disappointed that this beautiful playground is not safe for kids. At least add More security around playground area
Hello. I recently read that many cities (more than in the past) only are planting male trees as less fruit than female trees for cleanup. Something along those lines. Anyways in short the male trees (from what I have read) are wind-blown pollen versus insect-transmitted for female. Short of it, is that all male trees is causing a big increase in suffering among those such as myself with tree pollen allergies. So please do more fruit trees/female trees. Plus fruit/food producing trees are just so much more awesome for a community. Apparently it's called botanical sexism amongst urban planners and it is increasingly recognized as a big problem. We NEED more female trees to remove pollen from the air; I could hardly breathe today. Thank you for considering diversifying the sex of Bloomington trees. I am hopeful we already are focusing on mixed or exclusively female trees and not falling into the trap of botanical sexism of male only.
Large tree near roadway needs to be removed. Please call me to discuss. 614-313-9403.
In your website, do you really mean EST (not EDT) for the times of the eclipse, in this statement: The eclipse begins at 1:49 p.m. Totality takes place at 3:04 p.m. and ends at 3:08 p.m. The eclipse ends at 4:22 p.m. All times given are EST.
FYI your contracted service people park in front of a fire hydrant on a yellow when there was plenty of parking. Peoples park on Kirkwood
Could you please install a chainlink fence around the basketball court at the Park Ridge East Park? The court has a hill on two sides and the road on a third side. Anytime you shoot the ball will roll down the hill or it can roll out to the road. The side with the gazebo behind it is the worst because it has a hoop so it is frequently shot on. I have included an older photo of the park, but the slopes are still the same. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to meet at the park.
