You would need an awful lot of peeing dogs though to create any kind of smell at either of these squares so I cannot really see this as being a concern. This was brought up by a previous poster.

The statistics seem to suggest that dogs are more dangerous than any other creature that might appear at the squares except for the two legged variety. http://www.americanhumane.org/about-...dog-bites.html
Why do we see so many posts about people walking their pets (curb your dog thread) that complain about the smell getting in their yards if the smell won't become a problem at the squares as there gets to be more and more dogs? It is just natural for them to "leave their mark". In another thread (dog parks), it has been noted that dogs are more apt to become aggressive when leashed and the dogs on the squares have to be leashed. Actually, according to the restrictions here, they must be leashed when not in the confines of your own property. As you said about it being too noisy for yours when you did take them (it), it is usually too noisy for most animals. I've even heard some of the "two-legged" ones say they were ready to go home because it was too noisy to visit. My dog is too old for the parks, but that seems like a good idea if people must have their dogs in a social setting....there than can be off leash and socialize with their own species. As you said, people go to the squares to enjoy the entertainment and other people.
