Description
Church lane gardens park. I took my two children here today ages 3 and 1. When I arrived a man and woman were there with no children, just their two dogs off the leash. They were throwing a ball right into the kids slide/swing so the dog would run over there. According to byelaws they should not have been in the park if they are not looking after children there. Additionally dogs off the leash running around are not under control and therefore in breach of the sign on the door which he says strictly dogs must be kept under control. In the past I have seen dog poo in said park and a child's ball going into the dog poo leaving the child unable to play. This park is for children not dogs. Today I then witnessed another older woman with no children come into the park then take her dog off the lead. The dog ran right up to my son to jump on him. I do not want dogs around my small children and I took them to this park so they could play safely. I asked the olwoman to put her dog on the lead and take it away from my children. She was annoyed and said lots of people let their dogs play in this park. I referred her to the sign on the door. Dog owners can take their dogs to any other park. Why are adults with no children coming into a park for small children letting their dogs run around fouling etc leaving children with limited spaces to play and oarents worrying about dog poo and out of control dogs. There is no need to bring dogs to this park. Please could you look into making it a dog free zone. Or at the very least a place where dogs must be kept on a leash at all times
