The Department will plant and maintain a tree on park property. The family of the individual being honored will be contacted and a permanent record will be kept of the event. Tree Trimming Trees are trimmed for pedestrian and traffic clearance as well as selective thinning of branches, removal of dead wood, or storm damage repair. Trees are not topped, unless deemed necessary by the City Forester or a member of the staff. At the Parks and Recreation Department, we have established a goal to increase the quality of trees within our City parkways and parks. The Department is governed by guidelines set within our Forestry Ordinance, Chapter 19, Number 1984. This ordinance permits the Parks and Recreation Department to plant, trim, spray, preserve, and remove any tree on City property to insure public safety or to maintain the health of the tree. Constitution Trail The Bloomington-Normal Constitution Trail is a unique linear park. This 37-mile trail is open to walkers, runners, in-line skaters, skateboarders, cyclists, wheelchair users, and other non-motorized forms of transportation. During winter months, it is not cleared of snow, so it is available to skiers, weather permitting. Parking Parking is available in Bloomington at Hugh Atwood Wayside on Robinson and Jefferson, the G.E. parking lot on G.E. Road, Brookridge Park on Ireland Grove Road, and Rollingbrook Park on Hershey Road. Friends of the Constitution Trail If you are interested in getting involved in the advocacy and awareness of the Trail, contact Friends of the Constitution Trail, P.O. Box 525, Bloomington, IL 61702-0525. Friends is a citizens group interested in promoting trail use and development. The ordinance also requires that anyone wishing to plant or have work done to a tree on City property, by someone other than our Forestry staff, secure a permit from the Parks and Recreation Department first. Any questions please call (309) 434-2280. Tree City USA The City of Bloomington is a designated Tree City USA–a program sponsored by the National Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service and the National Association of State Foresters. To become a Tree City USA, a community must meet four standards: a tree board or department, a city tree ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program, and an Arbor Day observance. Bloomington’s staff of certified arborists and trained professionals enhance the Tree City USA designation. Park Regulations Parks open at 6:00 am and close at 10:00 pm. (Except Friendship Park closes at 9:00 pm.) Alcoholic beverages are prohibited. Motor vehicles restricted to roadways and parking areas. 20-mile-per-hour speed limit in all city parks. Pets are allowed in the parks on a leash. (Please clean up after your pet). Page 54 Trail maps are available now at Bloomington Parks, Recreation & Cultural Arts 115 E.
