Yep. Long hair often insulates a dog keeping it cooler.
The grass-in-shade argument is also a bit weak imho. The grass doesn't have to be perfect, and as stated, a mulched area is a possibility.
And as also stated, trees aren't the only possible source of shade.
Finally, nobody is being demanding. We're just discussing possible ways to improve an already nice facility. I could see very limited use of the dog park in months like experienced this summer if there is no shade whatsoever .
