True Eduardo, For people who love watching their dogs (and other owners) play at dog parks, it is just plain fun. And the many people I know who love to do this, do so passionately. For those who love to watch their kids play soccer or baseball or any other activity, I am sure they feel the same way. I am pleased that we have four park districts that are serving the needs of dog fanciers. I am waiting for the other 2 districts to do the same. (especially the 6th park district where I live and where so much time, energy and money has been spent on the process of getting a dog park established.) Let's do it, and let's do it right.
