Bloomington Park Safety is Maintained and Southside Roads are Resurfaced

Numerous infrastructure improvement projects are underway this season to advance community goals, including safety, sustainability, accessibility, equity, economic vitality, and quality of life in Bloomington. The City will provide regular public updates on a range of these improvements as they progress. The City makes every effort to provide residents and visitors with updated and accurate information though all projects schedules are weather dependent.

PARKS & RECREATION

Parks & Recreation staff repaired two slides at the Crestmont Park playground, 1100 N Illinois St this week. A lift was used to install two new slide sections to replace pieces that were cracking at the attachment points. 

Staff will move from the playground at Crestmont Park to the playground at Switchyard Park, 1601 S. Rogers St. to repair the accessible carousel. Parts of the Switchyard Park playground will be temporarily closed while staff lifts the carousel to replace casters in the spin mechanism.

Each city park playground is inspected regularly by certified playground safety inspectors to ensure all play equipment operates as designed, and remains safe for use.
