SIXTH DISTRICT DOG PARK COMMENTS
July 25, 2011
CAC Members:
I like dogs and I support a sixth district dog park, but I would not want a dog park in the backyard of the Historic Theodore Wirth Home.
I know that in winter the hill behind the house is used for sledding. In the summer the hill is used as an amphitheater for movies in the park. The topography of the parkland behind the house is well suited for both.
A dog park cutting through the backyard of the Wirth Home will interfere with both the sledding and the enjoyment of movies in the park in the summertime.
There also is no parking on King's Highway which is adjacent to the proposed dog park site. The better site for the dog park is to the north on the South Side Operations Center Parking Lot, which is a larger site that has space for parking.
Thank you.
