We dont need no stinking dog park. What if the nearby neighbors are scared of dogs?
Besides if we have a dog park we will have to have a cat park and a hermit crab park and a hamster park, the list continues.
Do we actually want to use our tax paying money to open a freaking dog park?
I vote no. Who's actually going to take up on the job of the park pooper scooper anyway.

The point of the park is that it is enclosed with 8-10 foot high chain link fencing.. The dogs can run around freely, without you being scared they will run out into traffic, or having to be stuck on the leash.. There are dog poop laws, and getting caught not scooping poop actually levies fines!

Its not that I hate all dogs. Its the really big ones that bark at you as you walk by. They seem to send off a signal to me through they're barks and foamy mouths that the only purpose they have at that moment is to bite me in my a$$.
So to answer your assumption I do like some dogs, I have one myself. Its just the big scary ones that frighten me.

Besides you missed one of my key points. If we have a dog park why cant we have a cat park, gold fish park, hamster park, pet snake park, alpaca park, and so on....
I'm pretty sure I pay a hell of alot more taxes for kids that I didn't spawn to have a playground or go to school than you will for a simple chain link fence. As for your key point: start using that education I paid for and quit being ridiculous.

There are rules.. They have one up in White Plains.. Its just too far to lug the pooches.

Looks like a debate and sounds like a debate.......must be a debate. You jumped into this forum without reading the entire contents and links and made an A$$ of yourself without any help from me.
If you read the posts, you'd have known that I intend on utilizing donations, posting rules, self policing and the only thing that the park workers would have to do that they don't already do at the tennis courts is collect the trash can right outside the fence. As it stands they already have to empty the same trash cans I already throw my dogs excrement into at the moment. Would you rather I just let me dog run around the entire park and lap your face or that I have her inside a cage playing with other pups?

Did I not say this was a debate? Maybe you misinterpreted what I said. What I meant for you to understand is that you jumped in with insults when I was bringing a truly logic point to the table. Just because someone disagrees with you doesnt mean you have to insult the person. You are just lowering yourself. Im glad you would be willing to invest your time in volunteering to collect donations for such an idea though.
Again I bring up the point that everyone has dodged so far. If we make a dog park what about all of our other pets? Should'nt cats have they're own park then?

Huntr's just pizzed that he might get another speeding ticket and have to do more community service to work off the fine/points by scooping up dog shiat.
A friend is going to work at the animal shelter for a day as his community service instead of points from his collision. He and huntr can commisserate about dog poop afterwards.

Im not really sure BuddyLee, Im not very good at that sort of thing. I just really enjoy having somewhere to go, where my doggies can run around off leash, and play with other dogs. They really seem to enjoy it, and so do I.. Otherwise, I see people in tennis courts with their dogs, which I don't agree with.
It's a great socialization activity - for both the dogs AND their owners. I'd love to go and meet people who loves dogs and can share their experiences with me.
Also, not everyone has a fenced yard they can let their dogs run in and dogs DO need a good amount of exercise. It alleviates boredom and gives them something to look forward to doing.
Cats do not have the same requirements. You cannot confine them to a fenced area. They do not need as much exercise and they are notoriously BAD socializers.

Why a dog park?
Dogs benefit by getting to exercise and socialize off-leash with other dogs in a safe environment. People benefit by having a place to socialize with other dog owners. Elderly or disabled owners have a place to take their dogs for exercise. The community benefits by promoting responsible pet ownership and public health and safety. Hundreds of dog parks across the United States have been started since 1991 and have been very successful.

I took Mily (pixiegirl's impending pup) and the troops to the dog park in VA Bch. What a blast! A stunning Ches. Bay Retriever had a orange dummy to chase after and one of the younger dogs nabbed it before he could. There were about 7 dogs chasing after that dang yellow lab with that orange thing hanging from his mouth. He'd turn back and make sure they were still chasing him and slow down for the dogs to catch up. My little dachshund coonhound mix would try to keep up but those legs aren't made for speed, so she'd cut em off at the pass. This went on for at least 10 minutes, resulting in tired and happy dogs. Dog parks are great for all the reasons Chrystee's friend stated. I couldn't stop laughing as they ran circles around us. You get to meet people you normally wouldn't and are bonded by your mutual love and respect for all dogs.
