I'm not living there yet, but intend to. When I was there for the preview I went to that dog park. I have to tell you it is pretty pathetic compared to the one at our county park I go to here. That park for small dogs is on a steep incline and there's large patches of dirt. I wondered why a few bags of mulch couldn't be put down. It's only open certain hours of the day. I know because another dog owner and I showed up when it was closed. I was really surprised that the park wasn't better given the level of quality of everything else at TV. I also went to one that was above 466 I think near the historic area, and that was worse. Almost all dirt. I was extremely disappointed. I did not get to Doggy Do Run but hope to see it next time I'm there and I'm willing to pay that fee. Still, if dog owners are a significant percentage of the population, then why can't a decent dog park be a priority?
I am just as outraged as anyone else if I find other dogs droppings in my yard. I would never do that. However, I'm amazed at the concern about pee. My dogs do the most before they leave our yard on our walks but like to smell where other dogs are and deposit a drop. Even my current neighbor who prizes his lawn above all things doesn't get upset if he sees one of them lift a leg because he knows the amount is minimal and won't harm it.
