A neighbor in the building on West Street abutting the park did place a picnic table in the park earlier this year, but removed it in consideration of another person in the building who is undergoing medical treatment and often must sleep during the day. We all would one day like to see the picnic table return when this person has recovered. Regarding the dogs, this park has been an unofficial off-leash dog haven for as long as I can remember, and the dog owners have been very good about everything. We even provide water for the dogs!

A person undergoing medical treatment shouldn't prevent people from using parks and I'm not sure how people using a picnic table would be more disruptive than the children or dogs already playing in the park. I have seen so many dogs off-leash there, I wasn't aware that there is a leash rule!
