That is just completely whacked.
If the law says that, then the law is an ass.

How about you go roll around in the grass at D Street sometime. It’s disgusting. Also, I’m absolutely sick of the dog training businesses taking advantage of a city park, all the while non-dog training class folks’ dogs are doing their business on the play equipment and trees around the play area while their owners are talking on their cell phones.

Same deal with Orpheus Park. Can’t walk through the park without having to avoid a “dog bomb”.

By the way, I love dogs and have had (at least) one most of my life. Based on my personal observations, I believe dog use and children’s play areas are simply not compatible. No matter how attentive the owner, stuff happens. Other cities realized the solution is a dog park. How about this solution for our neighborhood: Lights and a dedicated Dog Park at the Hall property!! Everyone wins.
