Construction Starting!

[Nate's Point News]

Next week will be the official start of construction! We should
actually have a drinking fountain in time for summer, along with a new
picnic table and disabled access. Thanks to everybody that supported
the project.

We'll also be following up on the Small Dog Area Poll. For those of
you that never saw the results, here they are:

Would you want a separate fenced small dog area in the Nates Point Dog
Park in Balboa Park?
Yes, please! I'd even donate to get it built. 26%
Yes, but I wouldn't donate for this project. 17%
Not my preference, but okay. 23%
No way - no more fencing! 34%

You should have explained to people what happens
when their large dog injures or kills a tiny dog before
taking this poll.

Most of these people are not watching what is
going in other places and they only know what
they see with their own eyes.

They are not going to fully understand the risk
they are taking until animal control comes and
takes their "vicious" dog away.

That's when most people figure out the implications
of these new "dangerous dog" ordinances.

The poll really should have explained why there was a request for a separate area for small dogs.  Many large dog owners are not aware of the problems with sudden attacks on small dogs, which are increasing in frequency and have resulted in at least one death so far.  The majority of dogs using the dog park are large dog owners and this skews the results and the poll unfavorable.  Keep in mind that many small dog owners want to take their smaller dogs to Nates Point but cannot use the park simply because it is too risky for their smaller dogs.  As the saying goes, "It is all in the details."  I recommend you take the poll again with an explanation. 

Thank you,

Bill Kelly & Bob Taylor
