At the entrance to Winslow Sports Complex there are several large orange barriers sitting on the sides of the entry road. They were placed there during IU's graduation weekend and they continue to be there a month later. This is just a personal request but we have not seen them used for anything during the month and we live in the house right across the street...and we have several windows that we look out many times a day and they are the first thing we see. We've lived here for 20 years and have never had to see large orange objects thru our side windows and we would love to see them removed so we can enjoy the unobstructed sight of the park entrance again. :-) Thank you for your consideration...we are lucky to live across from so much green space and trees and the large orange barriers just don't fit the view :-)

I am writing to bring your attention to a serious safety concern at the entrance of the Winslow Sports Park in Bloomington, Indiana, specifically the lack of a sidewalk and clear crosswalk on Highland Avenue. As a concerned resident and frequent park user, I would like to request immediate action to address this issue to prevent potential accidents and injuries. On [date], I had two close encounters where I almost got hit by cars speeding into the park and not paying attention to pedestrians. This alarming situation made me realize the imminent danger that exists for both pedestrians and drivers. Given that the park is designed to promote pedestrian activity, it is essential to create a safe and accessible environment for all users, especially considering the large neighborhood across the street. I kindly request the following actions to be taken as soon as possible: 1. Construction of a Sidewalk: I urge you to install a sidewalk along Highland Avenue leading up to the entrance of Winslow Sports Park. This would provide a designated path for pedestrians and separate them from vehicular traffic, ensuring their safety. 2. Installation of a Clear Crosswalk: It is imperative to establish a clearly marked crosswalk at the park entrance, complete with visible signage and pedestrian indicators. This would serve as a visual cue for drivers to yield to pedestrians and encourage safer crossing. By addressing these concerns promptly, we can prevent any potential accidents and injuries that may arise from the current hazardous situation. Moreover, enhancing the accessibility and safety of the park would further encourage pedestrian engagement and contribute to the overall well-being of our community. I kindly request that you consider the urgency of this matter and allocate the necessary resources to implement these changes. I am also willing to collaborate with the appropriate departments or community organizations to help facilitate the process and ensure a successful outcome. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I believe that with your support, we can create a safer environment for all park users and foster a greater sense of community. I look forward to hearing from you soon regarding the proposed course of action.

About a month ago on a Saturday, a group of kids from the baseball fields (spectators not players) were horseplaying unsupervised on the adult workout station. They were scooping the gravel from the workout area with their shoes and throwing it at each other and all over the adjacent trail. The trail in this spot remains covered with most of the gravel even a month later, presenting a hazard especially to those using the trail with a wheeled device (bike or walker, for example). Would it be possible to bring a broom and sweep the gravel back into the workout station and clear the trail? It is just north of the entrance to the park.
