Give me a break. There’s the Strand. There’s ( 3.5 mi ) walking path between Valley & Ardmore. There’s no need to grab a chunk of a park (where dogs already frequent). Some people just have dog-centric blinders on.
Don’t you think dogs deserve a space to run free and play with other dogs or should we lock you inside all day and let you out on the strand a couple times day and see how you feel Rich?
Rich, what a grouch. You clearly do not own a dog, for which all dogs are grateful. The idea is creating a place where dogs can safely play off-leash and people can hang out and chat face-to-face, not screen to screen.
I have the solution! It’s called” Central bark social Park. “ I’ve been searching for a location for the last 10 months and I’ve been turned down by the cities at every potential location! I would like to get a hold of Cassandra Sorrell and discuss further. I have an entire proposal put together originally for the “Friendship campus “on Inglewood Avenue in Ralston in Redondo Beach. They have not responded yet. It’s a school to help mentally challenged and disabled children and adults.
