I go there every day with my dog. My understanding is that they wanted to "standardize" the dog parks but they are all different and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
The worst thing is that the first thing they did to build the "shade structure" was tear down the only tree on that side of the park. That tree provided needed shade in the summer but also let the sun warm you in the winter. It was the perfect year-round solution which this structure is not.
Simply put, the addition of several deciduous trees would have functioned much better, looked much nicer and cost a heck of a lot less than that structure. But nobody asked us dog owners.
