Wonder if you could put up some sort of a barrier at least along the bottom of the fence. It would prevent a visiting grandchild from (1) petting dogs and risking getting bit and (2) putting hands where they didn't belong. It would also keep urine and defecation on the other side of the fence. Your TV neighbors might appreciate it.
Another thing you might want to consider is asking this group of homeowners to talk to your POA about their issues with the dogs being walked there, including the risk of some major lawsuits because of personal injury or property damage. Seems like maybe a reasonable discussion might help sway your POA.
Another slightly (?) nasty suggestion -- collect the dog poop that your neighbors aren't collecting and take it to a meeting. Let the POA see what kind of liability they are risking if a child gets ill because of this behavior (called an attractive nuisance in most courts). A dog park could have volunteer monitors that would require owners pick up after their dog.
