    A lot of people seem to want a dark park. Keep in mind that this neighborhood has several open parks already suitable for dogs. I might support a dog park more if all dog owners cleaned up after their dogs. At least once a week, we find dog droppings in our front yard or on a sidewalk nearby. there are even occasional "presents" left at the elementary school bus stop. It's a complete disgrace - and within one or two blocks from two dog-friendly parks (11th and Danville; 11th and Barton). Before adding another dog park in the same area, dog owners need to clean up after their dogs. Some dog owners clearly don't care about the value and livability of the neighborhood.
