Brissons dog park closed from 12-2 pm
 

I went to a dog park today ( Brissons) to find it locked. I see the hours close from 12-2. When calling the number,they said it was to give the grass a rest,really?

Even the grass needs a break from the pee and poo.

grass being a living thing does need time to renew itself from all the running dogs. look at how a path can be worn down by constant use in the same spot.

The grass may need a break, but then what is it doing from dusk to dawn?

:mornincoffee: Do you mean Brinson Perry Dog Park?

Maybe you could go to the park before or after the rest period.

Dog park.
 

Yes I suppose that's true but I try to let her get some excercise in between my activities so she isn't sitting all day. And since we are not suppose to by ordinance not let them off leash even in our own yards. It is what it is,I just had never heard of such a thing before. Are they all the same?

Maybe you could call the number and ask about the policy...................

Brinson Park is too small. I think the fact that the grass has to "rest" for two hours a day is proof that it is insufficient for the usage it's getting. We need a larger park in this area.

Sport and I went there a few times but managing the hill, looking out for unscooped poop, and watching out for aggressive little dogs was way too much to handle. I do have a problem with whoever planned this dog park. It looks like they gave the dogs and their owner's the worst piece of land around just so that they could earn more money. At least, Atlas Dog Park is now down south and Mulberry and Lake Paradise Dog Park are OK.

I have never taken Beau to the Brinson Perry Dog Park as I do not want to risk turning an ankle on that slope. It does seem like a tort lawyer's dream of a dog park.

poorly planned ? how about NOT PLANNED
 

This dog park was obviously an after thought. It could not have been so poorly planned (I assume), although at least it has some shade (something that Atlas needs badly)

They didn't have to build it!!! It's the old saying D----if you do, d----- if you don't !!!!

True, but as my father drilled into me, don't do a job unless you're gonna do it right !

Yes. But it is like they donated the crappiest parcel of land for it as there is little feasibility of building a house on that steep an angle of land.

Because they knew that poop usually runs downhill.

WHAT???? :rolleyes: They are the same. You think you are talking about 2 dog parks....but you are talking about the same park. :loco:

The Brinson Perry Dog park "is" behind Station 51.

I seem to recall reading on this site that the Responsible Dog Owners participated in the development of Brinson Perry Dog. Maybe the complainers who did not participate should discuss their, "Johnny come lately" issues with those that did.

:BigApplause:

I believe the Responsible Dog Owners participated in the newer Atlas Dog Park not the older Brinson Perry behind the fire station.

That is correct. The RDOG group worked with John Rohan to plan the Atlas Park.

Lexi, my one year old Shih Tzu, got to go to a dog park for the very first time when we were in The Villages in December. We went to both Doggie Doo Run (near where we were renting) and Atlas Dog Park (that is near our home in Charlotte). Lexi loved both of the parks! I liked different things about both them. I do think Atlas could have a little more shade. It was great to finally get to see the bench that Mom and I adopted in memory of my father, brother and sister-in-law. I can't wait to we finally get to move to our Village home and use the parks on a regular basis.

You are absolutely correct. I was thinking of the new Atlas Dog Park which is larger and on level ground.
Brinson Perry Dog Park is behind the fire station on a hill.
I am sorry, I misspoke. Thank you for correcting me.
I also apologize to Licismom because I agree 100% with the point she was making about Brinson dog park being too small.

That ship has sailed. Not much can be done now about enlarging it.


I want a cat park and a pencil sharpener in the art rooms.

Actually, they could close it. Level the small area and maybe get some more land for it. Not sure what is to the north of it? https://www.google.com/maps/place/12...345943!6m1!1e1

They could take a chunk out of the water treatment plant's property though which is near that dog park unless there is something underground there that we cannot see.

Some really good points.
