The park board, as politicians are wont to do, is thinking of this by the 6 Park districts, not the 4 quadrants of the city. Right now, the 6th District (SW sixth of the city, and the biggest geographic district, I think) doesn't have a dog park. And from my perspective (my wife was on the District 6 evaluation committee) it looks like they never will. It blows my mind that the Parks folks will be holding a hearing for a site that ranked 18th out of 19 after my wife and many other citizens spend months evaluating and ranking sites! This has been a fiasco down here; there's been no visible leadership and thus no dog park. (I don't own a dog, by the way, but the failure to accommodate a legitimate group of users really frosts me.) Anyway, Eduardo, I understand that you're a lot further from a dog park than I am. But I think we're both stuck on empty in the dog-park wars, even though we've wasted tons more time.
