Bloomington park system adapts to today's needs
Bloomington's parks manager discusses changes facing the park system in this age of electronic gadgets and parents who fear all manner of threats to their kids. Probably no city amenity is better loved by kids and their parents than parks. But running a park system is a lot more complicated than having a few ballfields and some nice walking trails. Demands on public parks are changing. More people want to use them. Parents aren't eager to have children wandering around unsupervised. And many kids find Playstations more alluring than a basketball court.
