The gate that separates the big dogs from the little dogs was never installed properly and despite many requests, has not been fixed. One small dog owner wired the gate shut and plans to padlock and chain it if closed if they won't fix it.

The city will cut off the lock as they use that gate to access both sides of park with a vehicle while performing maintenance. I would advise against anyone installing a lock on their own as it would be a waste of time and money. It may also result in legal trouble. The dog park is a privilege, not a right.

Shut it

It was shut today

It's generally shut when I'm there but I see people drift back and forth to use both areas and it is easily pushed open by an insistent dog. I can see where it could be an issue, but manageable from what I've seen. Sounds like it's becoming a problem, though...?

It was shut when we were there

No one but the city has a right to lock it plus what is the point it is open every time we are there

Yes and no?

It's always shut when I'm there
