Let me ask this question what if a dog attacks another dog or attacks a child that was playing in that park then what are you going to say and do, but jump on here and complain about what the bureau of animal control is not doing any and where were they when this happen but there are signs at every city park in the city that says that your dog must be leashed at all times and it is a city law so every person that gets on here and complains and moans about nothing is in violations

now all of you complain about the officer being there taking photos and writing citations to people who break the law, but you see no problem in having a police officer write a ticket for parking issues and speeders. When a dog who is off the leash attacks another animal or your child, understand that it is animal control who will be at your aid. Give them some respect.

Thank you for the wonderful photos of fall in Baltimore. As a Manhattan dog we have our share of park-related official hazards of the city revenue-raising, animal-taxing kind, but one positive aspect is that there are no vans and our park employees (who are usually very dog friendly) seem to drive around in lawn-friendly golf carts (less chance of getting stuck and easier to tow if they do).
Sincerely,
Randolph

I just got home from three days of wedding festivities that basically involved a hotel that was dog friendly but charged too much for Internet privileges. All I could think of was that his karma ran over his dogma…

It’s hard enough keeping today’s angry youth from destroying and defacing our parks and neighborhoods.
Stinks even more when a city employee’s actions result in destruction.
Very disappointing. I think they should be fined…

Definitely an effective use of taxpayer resources.

Thank you for blogging about this! I hope everyone will write the mayor (mayor@baltimorecity.gov) and Councilman Reisinger (edward.reisinger@baltimorecity.gov) to complain and remind them that it was our neighborhood volunteers (FORP) who raised the money to pay for those trash cans, who installed them, and who continue to maintain them. The city has no business destroying our community’s assets.

Great post! It says so much about B’more. I love this city and I love our park. However, it does seem like a little common sense would go a long way.
