I have a park 1/2 block from my house, there is a community hall with a large field behind it that is used as an outdoor rink in winter, otherwise nothing goes on there. I still can't take my dog there, and have to drive to the off leash park which is the size of a postage stamp with 50+ dogs there every day. This annoys me to no end, and I have occasionally ended up taking him to the "no dog zone" for a play at the end of the day, so far no one has complained or busted me. As for the bylaw officers, our new neighbour, who rents the house next door, has managed to accumulate a very impressive pile of garbage in his yard since June, and despite my calls to the city, nothing has been done. This guy has threatened my husband, and nailed blue plastic sheeting to our fence so we can't "see" him. Which is the bigger problem to the city? Dogs playing ball or some psycho who collects garbage and threatens people?? Sorry for the rant as my first post, had to get it off my chest.
