re: 11th and Park – I think this solution of just fencing it in so its an unofficial “dogpark” is a good thing.

The sticking point on this for well over a year now has been insurance, if they make it a dog park, then someone needs to provide liability insurance. If they just add fencing so it looks like a dog park but officially isnt one, they dont.

A new park! GREAT! Maybe all the crack dealers will turn to dog walking to make ends meet.

For a variety of reasons, the Park Road space will not be an “official” dog park anytime in the immediate future (if ever). However, dog owners may note the improved layout of the space (there should be gates going in to fill those two spaces in the fence at some point) which happens to be conducive to use by dogs, and should feel free to congregate, informally, accordingly. Hopefully, regular users will take an interest in keeping the space clean, tidy, and green.

FYI the sculptures at the S Street Park are by Robert Cole who is a local D.C. artist.

Any word on the new fencing around the Metro space at the corner of Park and 11th? There’s a petition to make this a dog park, we need one closer than Adamas Morgan.
