It's important that the folks with the purse-strings know how many people utilize, and are grateful for, this important public space. <BR/><BR/>If anyone wants to drop a line to the county commissioner responsible for the park, James Holmes, he is best reached via gfgordon@chathamcounty.org (Gail Gordon is the chairman's administrative assistant).Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672510383136733179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270682657017783809.post-19848746639101933232008-10-13T14:40:00.000-04:002008-10-13T14:40:00.000-04:00In many ways, the people that are regular readers ...In many ways, the people that are regular readers and/or contributors to this blog already function as a sort of association. <BR/><BR/>I must admit that I'm leery of doing anything too formal as it is a public park and I really feel like A. it could create a cliquey feel which is something that our park so far has resisted and B. it really should be the county's responsibility for the upkeep. That said, if there are folks that want to take on the responsibility of contacting the county commissioners, I'm all for that.Kate Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05076909092892097875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270682657017783809.post-68853329935771314232008-10-08T19:06:00.000-04:002008-10-08T19:06:00.000-04:00a few things that i feel are problems is the exces...a few things that i feel are problems is the excessive mud not due to rain but to people being careless about the hose. i do not mind contributing and helping the park at all. i think one quick solution to the mud around the hose area would be pea gravel instead of pine needles. the water would go right through the gravel without creating mud on the surface and it would be more difficult for the dogs who dig to dig it up.i am davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13012881824624522638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270682657017783809.post-39398856005485406322008-10-06T13:06:00.000-04:002008-10-06T13:06:00.000-04:00well i think the seating issue is alright. when i ...well i think the seating issue is alright. when i would take baker to the dog beaches in california, people would bring their own chairs if they really need to sit((i might bring my own chair as im farther along with my pregnancy,-and let my hubby monitor my baker)). there is nothing wrong with wanting to chill and have seat, but its also good to get up and play with the dogs. more benches is less room for the dogs to run. the park is for the dogs!! <BR/>also, i notice at the park in starlight they do have lids on the trash cans, but when you lift them to throw the poop away....the stench kills......yuck. at least with no lid it gets air. but it could be ok, i dont know what the rainy season is like here.<BR/>the one thing that i could say might be bad about an association is if people cant make it because of any reason...i wouldnt want anyone to think they have more right to be at the dog park than some one else. it is public and all are welcome. :)christy longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04123364550829728309noreply@blogger.com
