Still won't go <G>, but all for it. The organizers of this venture decided on the leash rule at least to start. They have meetings at the park weekly and members of the committee help access those coming and what their dogs are like as to behavior with other dogs. I believe eventually they plan on allowing ones that are very good with each other to be off leash together, but they did not want any negative incidents at the parks inception. I talked to one of the organizers this morning and the fenced off area of the park is going to be divided into 2 sections....the new, leashed dogs, and the accessed dogs that will be off lead. Am pleased at how they are approaching this in such a sensible and responsible manner. The gal I spoke to reinforced how much they wanted it to work and did not want any bad reports. Good people with dog sense....a win win situation for everyone.
