Bryant Park Pond Maintenance
Bryant Park Pond Maintenance (2024) The ponds in Bryant Park serve an important function, collecting dirt and sediment that is washed off the streets, parking lots, driveways, etc. from 372 acres in Bloomington. The Water Resources Department monitors the water and ponds to understand how well they clean water before it continues through more storm sewer, ultimately to Nine Mile Creek. In coordination with the Park Renovation Project, the ponds will be dredged, removing accumulated sediment. This work is most efficiently done during the winter. The islands will remain and restoration of the banks will occur and be included in the overall park project scheduled to begin in May 2024. The most current pond maintenance construction updates can be found on the Engineering Division project page.
BRYANT PARK UPPER POND: Due to the unseasonably warm weather, crews were unable to remove accumulated sediment from the upper pond at Bryant Park, 901 W. 84th St. this winter. Work to button up the site until next winter will be done the week of February 19th. This will include seeding disturbed areas with a cover crop until the park-wide updates begin this spring.
