Moir/Central Park
As a city that was built out in the 1950s and 1960s, Bloomington has many facilities that need to be upgraded or replaced. That is why the City is proposing a long-term plan, called Bloomington Forward, to invest in local projects that support health, wellness, athletics and recreation.
The state legislature has authorized the City to present a half-percent sales tax option to help pay for a improvements to Moir/Central Park and the Nine Mile Creek corridor, a new Community Health and Wellness Center, and Bloomington Ice Garden renovations. Bloomington residents helped shape the plan, and will get a final say on the sales tax option during the general election on November 7.
To ensure Moir/Central Park and Nine Mile Creek Corridor continue to connect residents to nature and outdoor activities, the City is seeking to invest $20 million to restore eroded riverbanks, protect natural habitat, add new amenities to the park including gathering spaces with restrooms and a new playground, and expand trails for hiking and biking.
