Cascades Golf Course consists of three nine-hole courses, which can be combined to create three separate 18-hole configurations. The Quarry Course is the oldest of the three courses, dating back to 1928. The Quarry Course is a par-35, playing a maximum of 2,995 yards. The Pine Course was constructed in 1931 and is a par-36, playing a maximum of 3,135 yards. The Ridge Course is the newest course, opened in 2000. The Ridge Course is a par-36 which plays a maximum of 3,086 yards. The course rests on 200 acres of beautiful rolling hills with native trees and natural topography. Named for the natural cascading waterfalls located throughout the golf course property, several waterfalls can be heard, and with a brief walk off the perimeter of several holes, can be seen from the course. Individual or group golf lessons may be scheduled with our on-site golf pro by calling 349-3764. Cascades offers amenities to meet the needs of any golfer. Leagues are offered for all ages and a concession stand. Beer and soft drinks are available for purchase from concessions. Indiana Alcohol & Tobacco Commission regulations prohibits individuals from bringing their own alcoholic beverages onto the golf course.

Fairway Improvement Project

Cascades Golf Course replaced 37,000 square yards of fairway on the nine-hole Ridge Course in 2018 with Zoysia. The fairway on the nine-hole Quarry Course was replaced with Zoysia in 2019. Zoysia is popular with golfers and groundskeepers alike for its density, durability, and tolerance of both drought and summertime heat.

PGA Junior League Golf

The PGA Junior League Golf (PGA JLG) highlights the social aspect of the game of golf for boys and girls ages 8–13 yrs. (cannot be age 14 yrs. prior to Aug. 1).

Matches: Each team has four, two-person teams that play nine-hole matches against another cities and golf courses.

At the end of the season an All Star squad will be formed to compete in the state tournament. Matches will likely be played on weekend afternoons in June and July. There is no organized transportation to or from matches. Each team needs a parent to be the team leader for organizational purposes at the matches.

Switchyard Park

OPEN 5 a.m.â&#x20AC;&#x201C;11 p.m. daily

The 57.2-acre Switchyard Park, formerly known as the McDoel Switchyard, served as a hub for railroad operations for a series of companies including the New Albany and Salem Railroad, the Monon Railroad, and eventually CSX Railroad. CSX Railroad made the decision to phase out its services in 2000, and the last train left McDoel Switchyard in 2004. The City of Bloomington purchased 18 acres of old railroad bed that ran through the Switchyard, and opened the second phase of the B-Line Trail, a paved, accessible pathway that extends 3.1 miles from Adams Street on the north to Country Club Drive on the south, in 2011. The City then set its sights on transforming the former switchyard into a community park.

The city purchased most of the land that was to become Switchyard Park in 2009. The city had a vision for the 57.2 acres of former railroad property, and collected input from its residents, stakeholders, interest groups, environmental advocates, and neighboring property owners to develop a Master Plan that would guide the development of Switchyard Park. Construction of the new Switchyard Park began in 2017, with a year-long project to install critical infrastructure: a 40" sanitary sewer line. Weddle Brothers Building Group LLC was awarded a construction contract for Switchyard Park in April 2018, for a total cost of $25,857,200. Members of the public gathered with elected officials on May 11, 2018 for a ceremonial groundbreaking at Switchyard Park, near Grimes Lane. The Switchyard was officially revealed to the public in November 2019.

Here, market-goers can expect to find a wide assortment of goods, including, but not limited to, fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and cheeses, honey, seasonal flowers, as well as annual and perennial plants. Market-goers can frequent the artisanal food section where they will find a tasteful variety of satisfying drinks, snacks, and dishes. The Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market also regularly hosts local musicians and events such as the monthly A Fair of the Arts and the Fiesta del Otoño in September. This inclusive weekly gathering provides individuals with the opportunity to connect with their community in meaningful ways while also supporting vendors and local artists.

Restorative Yoga

XX 40

Restorative Yoga is a gentle class with the aid of props: blocks, bolsters, blankets, and straps. The sequence typically involves only 5–8 poses held for longer periods of time with as little physical effort as possible. The practice is about slowing down and opening the body through passive stretching. Restorative Yoga focuses on relaxation and renewal, quieting the mind, boosting the immune system and releasing deeply held tension. This class is particularly beneficial for those suffering from anxiety, insomnia, headaches and other stressrelated conditions. All experience levels welcome!

Four ways to register for programs

Am I a City of Bloomington Resident? A resident is any person who resides within the City’s corporate limits. Do you pay Bloomington property taxes? Do you have a City of Bloomington trash pickup service? If you can answer “yes” to both of these questions, then you are a “City of Bloomington Resident.” If you are in an apartment and unsure if the property is “in-city” we can verify by checking your address. Even if your mailing address is “Bloomington,” it does not necessarily mean you are a City resident. Please call the City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation office at 349-3700 if you have residency questions. Fees and Charges City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation is a City of Bloomington department under the administration of the Mayor of Bloomington. City of Bloomington residents, through property taxes, make a significant contribution to the operation of the park system. Non-resident fees are charged so non-resident participants can fairly contribute to overall financing of the park system. Fees are listed separately for City of Bloomington residents and non-city residents. Residency verification may be requested. Waiver Of Liability The City of Bloomington is not responsible for any injuries sustained as a result of participation in any department sponsored activity, or while using departmental facilities. It is recommended that anyone enrolled in a program or using facilities make provisions for adequate coverage within their own insurance plan. Late Registration Any registrations received after the deadline date may be subject to a late registration fee. Refund Policy No refunds are provided after the first day of a program. All refunds are subject to a $2 fee. If the $2 charge does not cover costs incurred by the department, the refund may be pro-rated in addition to the $2 charge. There are no refunds on season passes. Full refunds are given on all programs cancelled by City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation. Allow four weeks for refund requests to be processed. Registration Procedures Complete the registration form, online or hard copy, making sure all information is current and correct. Parent/guardian information is vital in the event of an emergency. Include all pertinent information, including the program code listed beside the program information. Read and sign the waiver statement located in the lower left area of the registration form. Full payment is required at the time of registration. See above for payment methods. Forms will be processed in the order received. Register early! All forms must be received by the registration deadline. City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation is not responsible for lost or late mail. Registration receipts will be mailed to you. This is not a guarantee of enrollment, but an acknowledgement of your registration. We will contact you by phone or mail if there is a problem with your registration.
