Yep, all those dumbass dog parks that were built with tens if not hundreds of thousands of local tax dollars........How stupid is that?
We have a beautiful dog park; includes a pond for swimming, fresh water & a nice trail.
It was built after a 2 or 3 year PRIVATE fundraising effort. The City thereafter was given ownership & maintains it; members pay a yearly fee to offset the cost of maintenance & upgrades. I would be very surprised if they don’t realize a large profit. Several of the other local suburbs have the same arrangement. No taxpayers were harmed in the building of the dog park...unlike bike trails...lol.
I live in a town home so I happily pay the fee. The “swimming pond” is particularly great on a hot day...it’s like a dog party:)
