The small area that has hundreds of dogs a day peeing and pooping in it smells bad? Incredible.

Do you just go on Reddit to troll people? It’s normal for dog runs to be cleaned once a week. It doesn’t seem this one is.

Side note: The dog park has vastly improved with the new turf. I wish we had this when we lived there. We had dirt and ponds large enough for koi to thrive.

I'd say it would probably be most effective to get the other dog owners to collectively agree to clean up after their dogs shit, at least. I realize pee is probably not something we can do much about, but if I had a dog, I would assume I'd be responsible for my dog's waste, especially in a shared resource?

Maybe we can just get Amy DeGuise to clean it up as some kind of community service.

As of Jan 1. 2023 the city changed vendors for cleaning the dog run. The reason was … money and the contract went to the … lowest bidder. No surprises here, eh?

The new vendor appears not have performed according to the contract, which is, of course hardly surprising.

Edit: if you want to complain, call James’ office and call him out on this.

Yes they clean it. They pressure wash it and empty the trash. Idk how frequently but at least once a month. The heat makes it smell worse.

Once a month? Gross.

For reference, Washington Park Dog Run is cleaned weekly.

Clean up the area yourself. I don’t own a dog, why should my tax money go to cleaning up after your dog? You chose to live in a city and make your dog have a terrible, confined life.

I have hobbies, and none involve getting on Reddit to complain that an are where dogs shit and pee smells bad. You’re a moron. Head over to the water thread complain about it’s wet or how fire is hot. Dumbass.
