From YouTube: Switchyard Park + Parks Summer Programming
Description
May 10, 2018
Featuring interviews with Dave Williams, Operations and Development Director, and Julie Ramey, Community Engagement Manager, from our Parks and Recreation Department. This Town Hall included two segments -- Dave was first, discussing Switchyard Park and answering questions about the history of the park’s development, the construction period that’s just begun, and the park’s special features. Julie followed, providing details and answering questions about 2018 summer programming in our parks.
Moderated by Laura Collins, City of Bloomington Digital Communications Specialist.

B
I
think
that's
good,
not
only
for
us.
We've
worked
with
brothers
before
what
Oh
brothers
is
a
longtime
well-regarded
contractor
in
Bloomington
and
having
a
company
that
has
their
reputation
at
stake
for
a
Legacy,
Project
and
Bloomington
I
think
speaks
well
for
them
that
they
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
the
project.
They
wanted
to
be
the
Builder
of
Bloomington's
next
Park,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
working
with
them.
They
are
officially
started.
They
have
seven
hundred
and
fifty
three
days
to
complete
the
project.
A
B
So
we
did
the
counting
started
last
week.
They
will
slowly
mobilize
into
the
site
and
begin
clearing
the
property
and
based
on
their
construction
schedule,
erecting
facilities
and
other
things,
but
they
have
until
2019
for
what
is
referred
to
as
an
intermediate
completion
to
where
the
park
is
largely
open
and
operating
now.
Clearly,
in
November,
some
things
that
are
more
seasonal
won't
be
opening,
but
they
will
be
functional
and
then
we
will
spill
over
into
the
end
of
May
2020,
where
we
anticipate
a
lot
of
very
temperature,
specific
plantings.
B
B
Part
facility,
the
playground
will
be
open,
the
trails
will
be
constructed,
the
pavilion
be
usable,
the
BPD
substation
will
be
occupied,
it
will
be
what's
referred
to
in
the
contractor
industry
of
punch-list
things
that
need
to
be
corrected
or
weren't
done
quite
to
our
satisfaction,
but
largely
what
causes
us
to
spill
over
into
the
spring
of
the
following
year.
Is
the
plantings
there's
a
tremendous
number
of
trees
and
native
plants.
B
Coincides
with
the
department
change
that
we
made
a
couple
years
ago
to
where
we
think
our
landscapes,
of
which
we
have
many
in
Bloomington,
Kirkwood
streetscape.
You
know,
parks
throughout
the
city
miller
showers
park
any
place
that
there's
a
public
area
landscaping.
The
likelihood
is
that
the
parks
operations
division
has
responsibility
for
so
we've
made
a
concerted
change
to
go
to
high-performing
landscapes.
We
want
more,
not
only
the
aesthetic
beauty,
but
we
want
our
landscapes
to
contribute
to
the
local
ecology,
pollinators
birds,
nesting
habitat
things
of
that
nature
too.
A
B
It's
it's
some
move,
that's
pretty
progressive,
but
one
that
a
lot
of
parks
departments
that
have
the
types
of
landscaping
responsibilities
we
have
have
done,
and
we've
also
integrated
a
pest
management
program
where
our
chemical
use
is
minimal.
If
any,
we
don't
do
turf
treatments,
we
do
have
a
war
on
our
hands
of
fight
to
control,
invasive
species
throughout
Bloomington
and
our
outlying
propyl
properties.
A
C
B
B
D
B
B
Remediation
project
project
handled
through
the
state
and
no
you
don't
have
to
go
through
the
state,
but
we
wanted
to
set
the
remediation
bar
as
high
as
we
could.
We
agreed
to
an
environmental,
restrictive
covenant
for
the
b-line
trail.
That
means,
if
we
or
anyone
else
that
wants
to
connect
to
our
property
or
bill
on
our
beeline
corridor
property.
We
have
to
pull
out
the
location
in
this
area.
There
were
these
levels
of
contaminants
requiring
this
level
of
dirt.
B
Essentially,
the
remediation
solution
is
either
to
cap
it
with
a
hard
and
pervious
service
like
an
asphalt
trail
or
a
concrete
sidewalk
like
the
beeline,
like
the
beeline,
the
adjoining
vegetated
or
areas
have
to
have,
depending
on
the
levels
that
were
revealed
in
the
sampling,
a
level
of
clean
dirt
topsoil.
That's
basically
the
protection
from
for
the
public
recreation
on
the
top
to
what
lies
below
an.
D
B
Material
doesn't
migrate,
we
have
no
groundwater
being
drawn
from
it.
So
whenever
that
remediation
cap
is
disturbed,
we
are
obliged,
by
way
of
the
Covenant,
to
make
sure
that
the
excavated
waste
is
taken
to
an
approved
landfill
with
all
the
manifests
that
document
that
our
waste
ended
up
in
a
legally
disposed
manner
restore
the
cap,
you
know.
So
if
we
dig
a
tree,
if
they
put
in
a
sidewalk
or
utility
line,
it
is
a
bit
onerous.
But
again
we
set
the
bar
high.
We've
won
a
state
environmental
award,
an
EPA
regional
war
and
I.
B
So
we
follow
the
same
procedures
set
the
bar
equally
high.
We
had
no
intentions
of
lowering
our
standards
and
we've
worked
with
the
brownfield
program
that
we're
all
on
first-name
basis.
Now
we've
worked
with
them
for
years,
so
we
were
guided
by
one
of
our
sub
consultants.
That
again
was
a
partner
with
us
on
the
b-line
trail.
So
we
will
follow
that
requirement
throughout
the
switch
our
constructions.
A
B
We
did
a
tree
inventory
as
far
as
the
master
plan
there,
as
you
might
imagine,
in
a
project
and
it's
interesting
to
look
at
the
switch
art
over
its
years,
and
we
have
historic
aerial
photographs
which
basically
showed
that,
if
the
railroad
needed
to
reconfigure
the
direction
of
Clear
Creek,
they
just
did.
Obviously
you
you're
prohibited
in
numerous
ways
too,
from
doing
that
now,
so
many
of
the
trees
other
than
the
Clear
Creek
corridor,
which
we
are
not
intruding
upon,
were
stunted.
B
There
were
I
think
only
thirty
trees
that
were
over
three
inches
in
diameter
and
again,
mostly
along
that
Creek.
A
lot
of
invasive
species
had
migrated
onto
the
site
in
that
interim
period,
where
the
railroad
stopped
their
activities
and
the
site
was
basically
vacant,
so
specimen
trees.
That
were
not
there
very
few.
The
few
that
we
feel
like
we're,
not
in
the
way
of
the
development
template.
B
We
have
worked
around
in
some
cases,
we've
repositioned
buildings
and
hard
surfaces
and
parking
lots
things
of
that
nature
to
work
around
the
existing
trees,
the
handful
of
them
that
were
worthy
of
preservation
when
the
park
is
done,
we'll
have
over
600
new
trees
brought
in
and
over
2000.
What
we're
referring
to
as
reforestation
trees
along
the
creek,
we're
really
working
hard
to
restore
this
industrial
site
to
a
native
planted
site,
getting
rid
of
the
invasives
and
putting
in
species
of
trees
that
will
survive.
There's.
B
The
creek
primary,
oh
now,
the
600
trees
will
be
the
big
trees,
the
specimen
trees,
the
the
landscape
quality
trees,
but
we're
putting
in
and
they
won't
be
the
web's
there
be
4
to
5
feet,
but
we're
planting
those
alongside
Clear
Creek.
So
we
can
kind
of
restore
the
natural
Creek
edge.
That's
been
kind
of
modified
over
the
years.
A
D
B
B
We're
looking
kind
of
from
the
Northeast
down
towards
the
park
to
the
right
of
the
photograph
all
the
way
to
the
north.
What
is
not
pictured
is
the
entrance
off
of
Grimes.
We
will
be
using
pervious
pavement
parking
lots
that
will
is
the
best
way
to
go.
We
will
be
draining
our
stormwater
runoff
through
those
pavements,
but
starting
from
the
from
the
Grimes
Lane
entrance,
the
first
facility
and
frankly,
the
only
remnant
of
the
railroad
past
is
a
fairly
nondescript
building
at
Grimes
Lane.
B
B
And
that
was
clearly
something
that
we
had
a
lot
of
reach
out
on
our
master
plan,
a
lot
of
public
input
through
various
devices
and
meetings
and
a
park
for
all
ages
all
interests.
All
pursuits
was
certainly
something
that
resonated
with
us.
So
we'll
have
pickleball
bocce-ball
fitness
stations
as
a
trend
that
we're
also
trying
to
jump
on
board
emerging
recreation
transfer,
public
spaces.
So
fitness
stations
are
a
big
one.
Now
they
map
they
make
them
to
be
durable
and
weatherproof
to
where
you
can
step
on
an
elliptical
or
do
push-ups
or
pull-ups
room.
B
B
Community
gardens
similar
to
Willy
Street
her
at
Winslow,
Woods,
Park
and
Butler
Gardens
up
at
Reverend,
Butler
Park,
very
popular
program.
Moving
south
will
have
some
open
areas.
Some
kind
of
discretionary
areas
will
have
a
parking
lot
at
Walnut
Street
an
outdoor
stage,
one
of
the
things
that
staff
and
the
community
felt
like
is
that
we've
kind
of
outgrown
our
performance
venues
at
Bryant
Park
in
a
third
Street
Park.
So
this
will
be
a
very
large
venue.
You
can
see
the
in
the
photograph.
The
pick
the
open
field
to
the
left.
B
This
is
about
just
shy
of
6
acres
of
gathering
lawns.
So
if
you
can
envision
under
that,
for
example,
like
taste
of
Bloomington
could
easily
fit
in
this
facility,
so
an
outdoor
stage,
canopy
stage
something
that's
much
bigger
and
will
facilitate
our
programs
and
outdoor
performances
in
a
much
bigger
way
for
attendance,
as
well
as
programs
as
part
of
the.
D
B
So
if
you
and
your
colleagues
want
to
have
a
picnic,
that's
one
thing:
if
you
want
to
have
your
staff
meeting
at
the
park,
you'll
be
able
to
do
that,
so
we're
trying
to
think
of
how
do
we
get
you
to
come
here?
Gather
here
stay
here,
so
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
the
creature
comforts
we'll
have
Wi-Fi
in.
A
B
Is
something
we've
never
offered
to
where
you
know
it'll
be
a
lot
more
I
think
non-traditional
uses
of
it?
Not
just
I'm.
Going
to
this
part
to
recommend?
Well,
certainly
you're
welcome,
but
you
can
also
do
non-traditional
uses.
Students
can
throw
them
their
laptop
and
the
backpack
ride.
The
b-line
trail
have
a
quiet
or
more
a
place
to
do
their
work.
The
flagship
facility
is
an
11,000
square
foot,
pavilion.
D
B
Have
to
facilitate
drainage,
and
we
have
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
a
slippery
surface,
and
we
also
have
to
make
sure
that
the
surface
does
in
it
in
itself,
breed
mold
or
bacteria,
or
anything
like
that.
So
it
is
a
paver
stone
that
has
a
slight
bit
of
aggregate
on
it
for
a
little
bit
of
a
grippy
surface,
not
something
that
you
feel
on
your
bare
feet,
but
will
help
resist
slips
and
falls.
That's.
B
B
If
you
fell
upon,
it
was
going
to
hurt
you,
and
this
is
a
spray
feature
or
a
splash
pad
that
the
water
shoots
up
in
various
different
configurations.
But
when
it's
not
being
used,
it's
a
splash
pad.
It
becomes
part
of
the
plaza
area.
You
can
literally
walk
across
it.
There's
nothing
that
sticks
above
the
surface.
That
would
interrupt
the
area
to
be
reserved
for
an
event.
B
D
B
Right
and
it's
lease
optional
and
it's
off
the
beeline
trail,
so
we
think
that'll
be
a
hit
as
well
and
then
the
skate
park,
which
was
a
bit
of
a
surprise,
but
there
still
is
a
very
strong
constituency,
very
dedicated
interested
constituency
in
Bloomington.
We
do
have
a
skate
park
on
kids,
our
pike.
This
will
be
an
entirely
different
kind
of
skating
venue,
more
of
a
street
style
with
those
types
of
elements
and
obstacles,
but
those
folks
were
heavily
engaged
in
the
project.
B
Public
comment
from
the
very
beginning
have
long
advocated
for
this
facility,
and
it
was
bit
as
an
alternate
which
gave
us
the
discretion
of
whether
to
included
or
not
upon.
Ultimately,
the
decision
was
unanimous
to
include
it
other
than
that
and
a
lot
of
native
plants
loud
trees
were
also
be
daylighting.
A
stream-
and
this
has
become
kind
of
it-
has
become
a
way
for
urban
areas,
particularly
it's
all
about
attracting
future
employers.
Future
employees
and
where
parks
can
contribute,
is
in
the
quality
of
life.
D
B
We're
obviously
our
contribution
to
economic
development
is,
but
this
will
be
a
historically
culverton
leg
of
Clear
Creek
that
went
under
the
switch
iron
and
discharged
an
eclair
Creek.
We
will
open
it
up,
slow,
the
velocity
of
the
down
by
doing
so,
improve
what
discharges
in
the
Clear
Creek
planted
with
native
plants
and
it'll
be
not
only
a
visual
but
ecological
enhancement
to
the
park
is
welcome,
fantastic.
A
A
So
the
Denise
Valkyrie
says
just
want
to
say
the
broad
view.
Neighborhood
is
very
excited
about
the
new
park
and
the
positive
impact
it
will
have
on
our
community
as
an
individual
I'm.
Happy
that
we
have
the
oh,
it's
just
a
comment:
Shakespeare
in
the
Park.
That's
great
thanks!
Nice
will
the
park
construction
affect
the
b-line
as
in
become
a
Park
Road.
Will
any
roads
or
the
b-line
be
closed
during
the
construction?
What
is
the
estimated
travel
impact
on
the
existing
roads
that
have
entrances
to
the
park
and
then
to
draw
on
that?
A
D
B
The
park
to
roger
street,
we
included
that
study
as
part
of
the
master
plan
2012
we
did
traffic
counts
and
directions
and
engineering
analysis
and
ultimately,
the
determination
of
those
studies
was
that
if
it
went
through
the
park,
it
would
have
a
moderate
impact
on
improvements
of
east-west
traffic
movement.
The
the
home
run
so
to
speak
would
be
to
get
not
just
to
roger
street,
but
all
the
way
to
adam
street,
and
then
even
then
we
knew
I-69
was
a
likelihood.
So
you
can
argue
both
ways.
B
Even
a
moderate
impact,
some
people
say
I'll,
take
moderate,
that's
fine,
but
I
think.
Ultimately,
there
was
a
a
consensus
decision
made
early
on
in
the
project
that
we
wanted
to
keep
roads
out
of
the
park,
not
only
internal
park,
roads
that
really
led
nowhere,
but
just
drove
you
around
within
the
park,
and
we
would
evaluate
the
hillside
suggestion,
but
ultimately
it
was
decided
that
we
would
not
allow
it
to
go
through
the
park.
B
B
Maybe
it
would
be
a
start
of
something
big
and
I
would
certainly
accept
that
premise,
but
Mayor
kruzan
at
the
time
determined
that
we
would
not
put
it
in,
but
he
held
out
the
caveat
that
we
would
also
not
encumber
that
right-of-way
that
width
with
permanent
buildings.
So
in
the
event
that
someone
in
the
future
says
hey
hillsides
going
through,
then
it
would
affect
the
park
to
a
certain
degree,
but
it
would
not
require
tearing
down
buildings
that
were
built
five
years
earlier.
D
B
Of
Bloomington,
we
all
want
to
be
very
coordinated
in
that
fact.
We've
already
had
those
conversations.
Will
they
be
temporary
disruptions?
Absolutely?
Will
they
be
closures?
I,
don't
think
so.
We
do
have
to
connect
our
utilities
into
rogers
street
into
grimes
lane
into
walnut
and
there'll
be
some
construction
activities
that
will
be
minor
inconveniences,
but
we
don't
anticipate
complete
shutdowns,
for
example
like
what's
going
on
clove
and
we'll
do
it
in
a
very
coordinated
way
to
minimize
the
inconvenience
to
the
public.
B
A
B
D
B
D
B
B
A
B
A
B
You
know
well,
there'll,
be
the
main
entrance
of
parking.
The
biggest
allocation
of
parking
spaces
will
be
on
roger
street
and
we
will
have
114
spaces
there.
I
might
also
mention
there'll,
be
spaces
for
food
trucks,
Roger,
Street,
I'm,
sorry,
138
spaces
and
also
there'll,
be
a
couple
of
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
too.
Oh
and
tell

the
requirements
we
have
for
our
constructed
facilities.
A
B
A
B
A
B
A
B
It's
largely
up
to
the
police
chief
and
his
department
as
to
how
he
occupies
her
staff
said,
but
we've
worked
diligently
with
them
in
for
two
years
to
the
type
of
building
that
they
wanted
and
as
to
as
to
how
many
officers
report
there
are
the
shifts
or
whatever,
but
clearly
they
will
have
a
presence
in
the
park
at
the
Gateway
entrance
to
the
park,
which
I
think
will
allay
some
apprehension.
Some
fears
many
have
expressed
about
well,
this
part
be
safer
right.
D
A
A
D
B
Look
at
Bryant
Park
as
being
in
Decatur,
literally
24/7,
of
a
part
that
you
can
not
only
see
from
corner
to
corner,
but
there's
always
people
in
it.
Whether
we
are
programming
it
or
they're,
just
people
walking
their
dogs
and
having
picnics
of
jogging
and
using
the
playground.
So
you
have
to
activate
spaces.
You
have
to
have
have,
as
I
indicated,
a
diversity
of
opportunities.
Hey
I,
don't
play
tennis
at
pickleball,
looks
pretty
I've,
never
skateboard
in
my
life,
but
I'm
gonna
sit
by
these
bleachers
and
watch.
These
guys
have.
C
B
Concerts
programs,
yes,
we
will
activate
the
space
and
frankly,
we
spent
a
lot
more
time
with
regard
to
ensuring
public
safety
on
activating
the
space
program
in
your
space,
make
diverse
opportunities
for
recreation
or
contemplation
or
staff
meetings
or
lunches
or
potlucks
or
whatever
going
to
lunch
with
the
food
trucks.
Are
there
and
then
secondarily
the
Police
Department
substation
and
this
part
will
have
camera
surveillance,
I?
Think
for
some?
That's
a
big
change
in
it
is
for
others.
B
It
will
give
that
assurance
of
safety
and
that
keep
people
on
their
toes
as
far
as
their
behavior
in
their
park,
but
the
most
successful
parks
in
any
location
I
always
use
Bryant
Park
in
New,
York
City,
which
had
a
very
sketchy
past
and
history
of
crime
and
violence
until
they
activated
the
space
with
food
and
fashion,
shows
and
programs
and
like
crazy
and
there's
it's
a
mecca
for
people
to
come
to,
and
that
is
very
simple.
It
displaces
the
narrative
Wells
and
that's
the
recipe
for
a
successful
Park.
Yes,.
A
B
As
is
always
the
case,
not
everyone
is
engaged
or
aware
when
you're
doing
the
design
and
we've
had
several
follow.
Ups
we've
had
requests
for
facilities
that
were
originally
included,
but
we
also
have
allocate
and
kind
of
unassigned
discretionary
space.
So
if
we
ever
wanted
to
add
an
activity
or
athletic
facility
of
some
kind,
a
recreational
facility,
we
think
we
can
do
that
in
this
Park.
So
I
would
encourage
people
to
continue
giving
us
their
public
input.
Great.
B
Be
line
trail
users
know
that
when
the
Utilities
Department,
which
is
the
first
disturber
of
this
property
by
putting
in
a
very
large
sanitary
sewer,
they
were
required
because
one
of
the
routes
of
the
sewer
line
basically
took
out
the
original
section
of
the
b-line
trail
to
do
a
detour
and
they've
since
paved
the
original
section.
The
first
requirement
is,
with
regard
to
construction
of
the
contractor,
will
be
before
they
close.
B
D
B
A
B
Long
ago
had
a
policy
of
what
we
refer
to
as
unisex
restaurant,
so
cascades
playground
our
see
a
park
playground
and
this
facility
will
have
unisex
enclosures
to
where
all
the
necessary
plumbing
facilities
will
be
available
to
the
public
if
you're
an
individual
or
if
you
bring
all
your
kids
in
and
change
into
your
swimming
suit.
/.
D
B
All
the
comforts
will
be
there.
It
allows
us
to
have
the
opportunity
for
anyone
to
use
the
facilities.
Also,
if
it's
a
slow
day,
if
it's
a
rainy
day,
we
don't
have
to
have
men's
and
women's
open.
We
can
have
maybe
one
or
two
enclosures
that
will
sue
and
female
and
we
have
no.
We
don't
have
to
operate
and
clean
and
maintain
facilities
that
our
surplus
to
our
needs.
At
that
time,
there's
vandalism
we
can
shut
one
down
repair
it
and
everyone
else
to
know
about
their
business.
C
B
A
B
Not
sure
about
the
concrete
planters
we
have,
we
have
removed
a
lot
of
the
stray
pots
and
aggregated
our
plantings
into
the
larger
expanses,
like
on
the
downtown
corners
of
the
square
or
Kirkwood
and
native
plants
over
time,
not
in
their
first
five
years
but
native
plants.
Over
time
we
need
less
water,
less
chemicals
and
I.
Think
that
will
serve
us
very
well.
So
the
native
plant
is
not
only
ecological
enhancement.
B
We
think
it
will
lower
our
maintenance
costs
over
time
and
as
far
as
maintaining
it,
we
go
in
this
operation
of
this
park
with
our
eyes
wide
open,
we're
doing
an
evaluation
of
our
organizational
strengths
as
far
as
numbers
of
employees
bunch
of
dollars.
Obviously,
we
have
to
compete
with
other
departments
that
have
needs
for
other
things,
but.
B
B
A
Have
if
I
have
one
more
question
I'm
gonna
get
to
and
then
we're
gonna
bring
in
Julie
Rana,
who
will
be
talking
about
summer
programming
in
our
parks?
Right
now,
that's
available
right
now.
We
want
to
wait
until
November
2018,
but
I
do
want
to
ask
you
a
question
if
you're
just
joining
I'm,
Laura
Collins,
the
city
Bloomington's
digital
communication,
specialist
I'm,
here
with
Dave
Williams,
who
is
the
director
of
development
and
operations
for
Parks
and
Recreation,
we're
talking
about
Switch
our
park
right
now.
A
B
First
of
all,
we
met
with
the
neighborhood
associations,
for
example
the
Broadview
Neighborhood
Association.
We
met
with
the
business
owners
on
walls
on
Walnut
Street,
with
private
business
owners
on
Grimes
Lane,
with
the
warehouse
operators
on
Roger
Street.
So
we
felt
like
we
engaged
a
lot
of
stakeholders
as
to
what
are
your
future
plans?
How
can
we
complement
each
other
and
I'm
not
privy
to
private
development
proposals?
B
They've
often
kept
close
to
the
best,
but
I
think
what
you're
going
to
see
is
reinvestment
in
this
area
for
facilities
and
retail
establishments
and
residential
establishments
that
are
complimentary
to
the
park
and
I.
Think
that's
where
the
catalyst
for
economic
development
happens
now.
Will
property
values.
B
My
way
of
a
study
we
did
with
the
Kelley
School
of
Business
and
I.
You
did
before
and
after's
logical.
If
you
live
next
to
a
railroad,
your
property
values
are
X.
If
you
live
next
to
a
popular
recreational
facilities
is
X
plus
and
I.
Think
the
same
situation
will
occur
here.
I
think
and
I've
had
people
express
to
me,
while
I'm
worried
about
that
I'll
be
priced
out
of
my
home
and
I,
get
that
but
I
think
the
other
thing
that
is
has
been
moving
for
quite
some
time,
not
just
with
switch
switch.
D
B
If
you
throw
in
that,
the
Convention
Center
now
owns
property
and
now
has
a
funding
source
to
expand
all
the
way
to
2nd
Street,
where
literally
it
was
a
block
and
a
half
north
of
that
was
the
extent
of
their
boundaries.
You
extend
and
stretch
the
downtown
towards
this
facility
towards
to
each
other.
B
That
has
occurred
on
Morton
Street,
which
in
my
uses,
rarely
traveled
by
anyone.
You
have
hopscotch
coffee
of
Cardinal
spirits.
You
have
the
beelines
station
homes,
though
kind
of
the
row
houses
I,
think
it's
inevitable
that
the
downtown
is
going
to
kind
of
extend
to
switchyard
and
I
think
the
development
will
occur.
Property
values
will
raise.
I
can't
tell
you
the
number
of
people
that
are
either
interested
in
relocating
in
Bloomington
or
are
moving
from
states
away
or
maybe
you're
affiliated
with
IU,
and
they
say
we've
heard
about
this
part.
D
B
B
D
A
A
C
A
Can
come
closer
to
me
like
all
right?
Thank
you
so
much
so
welcome.
I
just
talked
about
all
this
excitement.
It's
exciting
things
that
the
Parks
and
Rec
is
developing
for
switchyard
Park,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
things
coming
up
this
summer
that
people
can
get
engaged
with.
Plus
we
have
a
special
bicentennial
tree
planting
that
kind
of
brings
in
switchyard
as
well.
Because
folks,
can
you
want
to
talk
about
that?
A
C
200Th
birthday
and
there's
an
old
saying
proverb
that
the
best
time
to
plant
a
tree
is
100
years
ago
and
the
second
best
time
is
today,
so
we're
have
really
embraced
that
concept
of
bicentennial
celebration
and
trees
for
the
future.
Looking
forward
to
the
next
couple
hundred
years
of
Bloomington
trees,
so
Bloomington
is
Indiana's
very
first
Tree
City
USA.
He
became
a
Tree
City
USA
in
1984,
believe
it
or
not,
Tommy
Allison.
C
So
and
Indiana's
first
tree
city,
we've
been
a
tree
city
every
single
year
since
then,
because
people
in
Bloomington
love
their
trees.
Do
so
that's
very
heartening
and
we
decided
to
celebrate
the
Bicentennial
by
giving
people
in
Bloomington,
yet
more
opportunities
to
love
their
trees.
So
there
are.
There
is
a
bicentennial
tree
planting
program
that
allows
people
to
contribute
$100
to
have
a
tree
planted
in
a
city
park
of
their
choice
or
in
a
MCCS,
see
school
at
an
MCC
SC
school.
So
several
schools
have
already
jumped
on
board.
C
A
C
Intact
ik
program-
and
you
can
you
take
ownership
of
the
tree
and
you
watch
it
grow
as
you
grow
and
hopefully
the
the
Girl
Scouts
will
come
back
to
the
tree
and
and
remember
that
they
planted
it.
It's
gonna
provide
shade
for
many
future
students,
so
there
yeah
there's
some
opportunities
to
do
that
and
plant
a
tree
in
your
favorite
Park
as
well.
C
C
C
A
A
C
C
Brian
Park
pool
and
those
pool
we'll
both
be
open
on
that
day,
11
a.m.
until
7
p.m.
through
the
rest
of
the
summer.
So
it's
a
good
good
thing
to
have
on
your
calendar.
We're
doing
swimming
lessons
this
year.
Not
only
do
we
have
11
different
class
levels
of
swimming
lessons,
we
have
Saturday
lessons
a
fit
at
Mills
pool.
We
have
moon
lessons
at
Bryant,
Park
pool
11
different
levels
for
swimming
lessons,
so
there
are
lots
of
anywhere
from
the
little
tadpoles
just.
C
How
to
swim
to
diving
programs
in
competitive
swimming
programs
so
really
trying
to
ramp
up
our
swimming
program?
Queer
swimming
a
lifelong
skill,
even
as
your
joints
get
stiff,
you
can
always
always
enjoy
recreating
and
swimming
and
staying
active
in
the
pool,
and
course
swimming
is
an
important
skill,
potentially
life-saving
skills.
We
encourage
everybody
to
know
how
to
swim
and
are
happy
to
provide
the
opportunity
to
do
that
through
our
swim.
Lessons
mm-hmm.
A
C
D
C
Best
place
to
go
to
find
all
the
list
of
all
the
swimming
prerequisites
and
what
you
should
be
able
to
do
and
know
is
Bloomington
giant,
gov,
slash
parks
and
in
the
blue
bar
halfway
down.
That
site
is
a
number
that
says
two
pools
and
if
you
click
on
the
number
two
pools
in
that
blue
bar
then
that'll
take
you
to
both
of
our
pool
pages
and
all
the
swimming
lessons.
That's.
C
D
A
C
Have
a
waiver
program
so
that
if
you
meet
the
guidelines,
there's
federal
guidelines
for
free
admission
to
the
pools
and
if
you
call
our
front
office
at
Parks
and
Recreation
and
that
numbers
three
four
nine
thirty
seven
hundred
they
can
tell
you
the
paperwork
that
you'll
need.
So
things
like
proof
of
residency.
So
we
offer
full
of
pool
waivers
for
city
residents.
So
you
have
to
bring
up
proof
of
residency,
a
lease
that
you
signed
a
utility
bill.
C
C
Do
you
can
get
a
discount?
You
know
you're
gonna
be
visiting
the
pool
a
lot
during
the
summer
learning
how
to
swim
or
just
playing
in
the
water.
Then
I
can
get
a
punch
pass.
So
it's
a
10
20
and
50
admission
okay
passes.
So
if
you
must
want
to
do
it
all
at
once,
get
your
punch
pass
and
then
take
the
whole
family.
A
punch,
punch,
punch
and
you're.
C
D
C
A
C
C
A
C
Are
in
several
different
parts:
okay,
we're
showing
movies
one.
A
month
now
we
used
to
have
a
movie
series
kind
of
toward
the
end
of
the
summer
season,
but
this
year
trying
something
new
and
we're
going
to
start
on
June,
2nd,
so
June
2nd
is
what
we're
calling
the
summer
sampler
and
that
is
at
Bryant
Park
from
5:00.
Until
8:00
p.m.
we
have
played
a
so
drop
in
play
with
our
giant
Jenga,
playing
with
the
imagination,
playground
active
games
for
kids
families
of
all
ages.
The
summer
sampler
has
a
theme
about
trees.
D
D
A
A
C
C
C
B
D
C
Getting
your
preschooler
early
early
elementary
school
kids
out
and
about
and
getting
them
active
and
involved
and
engaged-
and
you
know
away
from
the
TV-
can
sometimes
be
hard.
So
at
Banneker
we
have
lots
of
free
programming
just
for
especially
parents
with
really
young
children.
Every
Friday
morning
we
have
a
program
called
physical
Fridays
and
we
open
up
the
Banneker
Center,
the
gymnasium,
the
third
floor,
Family
Resource
Center,
just
for
active
play
so
meet
other
people
run
around.
C
We
have
lots
of
both
active
and
passive
type
balls
to
bounce
and
kick
and
play
and
cars
to
ride,
and
you
know
all
kinds
of
active
things
to
do
every
Friday
morning
and
then
Monday's
is
a
program
called
tight
I'm,
so
tight
I'm,
both
Monday
mornings
and
from
5:00
to
7:00
on
Monday
evenings,
come
by
the
Banneker
Center
totally
free.
It's
all
drop-in
take
advantage
of
the
books
and
toys
on
the
third
floor.
You
can
meet
other
parents,
trade,
parenting
stories,
things
like
that
and
get
to
know
your
community
great.
C
Our
kids
city
summer
camp
is
definitely
our
big
kid
program
over
the
summer.
So
kid
city
starts
on
that's
the
first
Monday
I
think
that
school's
out
one
of
the
first,
the
first
Monday
in
June
and
the
kid
city
has
something
for
everyone.
Kids,
stay
really
active
and
engaged
in
the
community
field
trips.
They
run
and
walk
everywhere.
So
it's
a
good
way
for
kids
to
stay
fit
over
the
summer.
They're.
D
C
City
pools
my
son
when
he
in
kid
city
grew
up
in
kid
city
and
he
loved
the
trip
to
the
Art
Museum
and
to
the
library
and
to
Springville
State
Park
and
some
of
the
other
fun
places
that
the
kids
get
to
go
on
field
trips
every
week.
So
if
you
have
an
elementary
school-aged
student
and
you're
thinking,
how
am
I
gonna
get
them
busy
this
summer,
then
kid
city
is
a
great
place
to
go.
We'd
love
to
have
you
so
that's
Bloomington,
Diane,
gov,
slash,
kids
city.
C
C
C
If
your
schedule
doesn't
allow
you
to
go
to
an
8
o'clock
program
or
a
4
o'clock
concert,
then
the
b-line
trail,
the
Clerc
Creek
Trail,
the
Bloomington
Rail
Trail,
the
Cascades
Park
trail.
We
