No - it is right in the middle of soccer and baseball fields (I mean right in between!) with the main park road on one side and another road to other playing fields on the other. There is not a nature area or preserve at this park - it's all active recreation. The fence I have to complain about - the animal (and it could have been a bunny and then I would have been ok) is to be understandable - except it appears that these groundhogs are living almost in the dog park. The fence on the runs is only 4 feet at this park and I know that other dogs I've owned in the past would have been over the fence in a heartbeat to get to this animal.
Personally, I think it would be kinder to the groundhogs to rehome them - or to have planned the placement of the dog park in an area where groundhogs weren't living. (it's a new dog park in a long established rec area.) |
