You are absolutely correct about dog parks, the way they build community
and the overall benefit of dog parks to the City. However, the proposal
at the corner of 40th and Dupont was frankly a lousy location for a dog
park. It is too small, too hilly and too hidden from eyes along Dupont
or 40th.
If a dog park is proposed for the area adjacent the rock garden or
adjacent the rose garden I'll lend my support. Until that time count me
in the 50 percent of the neighborhood that opposes a dog park.
