Very hard. I live near Theo Wirth Park and usually end up walking my dog along that beautiful stretch of parkland. *********** As far as people opposing the dog parks: I think you really need to visit one, even if you don't have a dog. If you like dogs, you'll enjoy seeing them run and play with each other. If dogs aren't your favorite, you'll certainly appreciate the sense of community connection happening at one of these parks. Imagine night after night 15-20 people gathered in one spot, or walking the length of the park together, talking to each other and getting to know each other! I consider it a definite added benefit for my community. ***** Yes, this is true, but ever observe that some owners are xerox copies of their dogs, or is it the other way around? Some dog owners are rather eccentric, count me in with that group...sometimes it's more fun to watch humans INSIDE a dog park than the entertainment that dogs offer...
