i didn't understand the method for voting on this issue, and added a vote in favor. i would like to vote to allow dogs in the park.

JO, your feelings about dogs are abundantly clear... You don't need to continuously SPAM this forum with your messages... We get it. Dogs are allowed in parks in Oakland. Perhaps you would be more comfortable in another city, we in Oakland are keeping the dogs but we are perfectly willing to let you go.

I for one will be looking out for a crazy person with a cell phone that looks very determined but seemingly has nothing to do with their time. Far more worrisome than responsible dog owners.

Let the dogs be at bushrod! There is a wonderful collection of responsible owners in the area. I have a small child and have never had an issue with dogs in the park. However I have seen someone verbally assault a very nice dog owner for no reason. The park was empty and there was plenty of room for everyone to share the park. The dog was well trained, not aggressive and totally under control. From what I've seen it's the dog haters not the owners who are the issue.

There was a movement to create a dog park under the FWY for Idora Park Neighbors (along with a Tot Park for kids under 5, separate from the dog park). For those who want a dog park, consider getting this project going again. It would be at 56th and Telegraph.

over 50 people with dogs off leash recently in bushrod park. some of the dog owners were mean and arguing with children and parents of children trying to play in the park. Dogs are prohibited off leash in Bushrod Park. So if you're there, no big deal to me, but please be civil about it. The kids have had no organized sports for nearly 2 years due to COVID. Sorry, but our community's children mean a little more to me than your one dog.
