Dog owners have a limited number of areas where they can let their dogs off leash to release pent-up energy.

It is unsafe for children and unfair for the dogs, and it is only a matter of time until an unfortunate event occurs.

I believe it is the responsibility of the parents. Please let your children play in playgrounds, schoolyards, parks, trails, etc. and leave the dogs parks for the dogs.

Betty Tepel,
