Description

Pritchard park has become an unauthorized off-leash dog park. As a runner I've been jumped on/attacked by off-leash dogs while running on the paths along the beach, as a parent I've had to protect my small child from overly "playful" dogs at the beach, and I routinely come across dog excrement on the pathway to the beach.

This is frustrating as there is an off-leash dog park that is seldom used less than a mile away at Eagledale park. I could see having a compromise where there is a small section for off-leash dogs at Pritchard Park, but for them to have free reign over the entire park is not right and against permissible use of the park.
