We had a dog park once. That is until a lawyer moved into the new houses about 200 yrds away.

He is afraid of dogs (admittedly) so did not think the neighborhoods that surround the FENCED in (12ft high) should have the dangerous park so close to houses. "They are a menace to those who do not like dogs." (Or are afraid).
The dog park is on land that used to contain a radar tower and the edges of that area heavily treed and except for two or three walk ways there is NO access to the FENCED in dog park area. It is so heavily overgrown that it prevented most noise of the dog park from being heard in the houses in the surrounding neighborhoods.
The lawyer sued the township and threatened continued legal action until the dog park was closed. So all the folks in the approximately 250 houses that surrounded the dog park area have no more dog park.
The silly part is since he is a lawyer and will not walk in the "woods" he never sees the radar tower field where every one still walks the dogs. Just now they can not let them mingle as easily. What a jerk weed.

I saw the solution, but it is way after the fact.

ALL of the dog owners should have been notified to walk their pets every day to that guy's house to poop & pee on his lawn.
