City of Bloomington Parks & Recreation Park Improvement Projects

Enhancing essential parks and green spaces for the benefit of our community!

Lower Cascades Park

Phase 5 Trail and Streambank Stabilization Project Cascades Park is a long, narrow park that parallels Cascade Creek along Old State Road 37 North on Bloomington’s north side. Cascades Park was the city’s first park, established in 1921. Bloomington Parks and Recreation has taken steps over the past two years to address long-term, ongoing issues related to the erosion of the steep streambanks of Cascade Creek, and to improve the accessibility of the park’s most beautiful natural features, including the waterfall located in the middle of the property.

Celebrate Lower Cascades Park Sunday, September 18 1–4 p.m. Lower Cascades Park Bloomington Parks and Recreation invites you to celebrate the completion of a significant park maintenance and enhancement project at Lower Cascades Park, and the Park’s history as our city’s first park. Park upgrades include the limestone stabilizing blocks along the banks of Cascade Creek, a new, accessible boardwalk to the waterfall, and a newly paved extension of the Cascades Park Trail. The Lower Cascades Celebration includes interactive programs like nature hikes and fitness classes, plus activities for children, music, and food.

The road through Lower Cascades Park, which had been closed to vehicle traffic in early 2020 as part of a pilot road conversion project, was re-paved prior to re-opening to vehicle traffic in October 2021. Speed cushions were also added to the road through the park, to reduce the speed of vehicle traffic and increase safety. Tiered limestone blocks were installed to protect the creek banks and allow safer access to the creek. A new boardwalk, extending from the accessible, newly paved Cascades Park Trail, provides access for people of all abilities to view the waterfall. A total of 115 new trees will be planted at Lower Cascades Park and in nearby Ferguson Dog Park. The Lower Cascades Park Phase 5 Trail and Streambank Stabilization Project was completed in July 2022.

We equitably enrich community well-being by providing quality parks, trails, facilities, programs and services, and through the stewardship of natural spaces.

Boathouse, 3400 N. Headley Rd.

Scenic woodlands teeming with wild flora and fauna surround the 109-acre Griffy Lake at this 1,220-acre nature preserve. Swimming is prohibited. The Indiana Department of Natural Resources has stocked the lake with bluegill, redear sunfish, largemouth bass, channel catfish, and crappie. Kayak, canoe, and stand up paddleboard rentals are available seasonally at Griffy Lake boathouse. To protect wildlife and visitors, all dogs must remain leashed while in the preserve. Nearby Ferguson Dog Park (4300 N. Stone Mill Rd.) accommodates dogs off-leash. For more information, call 349-3700. The surface of the lake often freezes in winter with varying ice conditions that can be hazardous. The City of Bloomington assumes no responsibility for accidents resulting from individuals venturing onto the ice.

Griffy Lake Rental Fees

See pages 28–29 for Nature and the Outdoors programs.

Griffy Lake Accessible Fishing Pier and Loop Trail The Griffy Lake Accessible Fishing Pier project was completed in July 2022. The $2 million project, funded in part by Bicentennial Trees & Trails bonds and a Parks General Obligation bond, stabilized the shoreline of Griffy Lake west of Headley Road and created accessible fishing areas. An accessible path along Headley Road links the Griffy Lake trail systems on the north and south sides of the lake, while a designated pedestrian crossing allows safer access to the trails and lakeshore from the boathouse. Contractor Spectrum, LLC in June 2022 completed construction of the first new section of the proposed Griffy Loop Trail, from the new wooden stairs at the south end of the causeway. Work is ongoing to identify the best hiking trail route through the steep terrain and fragile soil of Griffy Lake’s south side. Hikers are asked to be considerate trail users, and to stay on marked trails. Camping, campfires, horseback riding, ATVs, bicycles, and dogs off leash are not permitted at Griffy Lake or on any of the Griffy Lake trails. Follow City of Bloomington, IN - Parks and Recreation on Facebook, and download the free OuterSpatial mobile app, for updates on the ongoing construction of the Griffy Lake Loop Trail.

Open 5 a.m.–11 p.m. daily Switchyard Park is a 65-acre park located on the city’s south side. The park is a culmination of decades of planning, as both city leaders and residents saw the potential of an abandoned railroad switchyard to become a destination park for people of all ages and abilities. Completed in November 2019, Switchyard Park at the onset required substantial remediation of coal ash and cinders, the result of the property’s historic use as a railroad switchyard. Bloomington citizens had unprecedented input into the creation of the park, and into the selection of park amenities. The park straddles the city’s B-Line Trail, a 3.1-mile former railroad corridor that provides an avenue for transportation to and from the park and surrounding neighborhoods, and for economic development in the form of restaurants, housing, art galleries, and other businesses.

Amenities include:

• basketball court • 4 pickleball courts • 3 bocce ball courts • skate park • fitness stations • community gardens with 39 raised beds • open greenspace • stream and wetland • performance stage with lawn seating for 5,000 • Pavilion indoor event space • picnic shelter • shaded bosque seating • bicycle/skateboard repair station • Community Foundation Switchyard Plaza Spray Pad • 4.7-acre dog park with fenced areas for large and small dogs • paved, accessible trails around and through the park • 3.1-mile paved, accessible B-Line Trail through the park • vehicle parking lots at Rogers Street, Grimes Lane, and Walnut Street offer a total of 400+ spaces

Public Restrooms • Community Foundation Switchyard Plaza Spray Pad restrooms open seasonally, April–October. • Bloomington Police Department at Grimes Lane public restrooms open year-round, from 7:30 a.m.–10 p.m. weekdays and from 6 a.m.–10 p.m. on weekends.
