Dog runs
In your recent article on Washington Park (A tale of two cities 8/28) you mention that it has a dog run. I live near this park, and while it would be awesome if it did have a dog run, I don’t believe it does. But I could be missing it. if it does indeed have a dog run, where is it located? I asked someone yesterday, walking his dogs in the park, and he knew nothing of it either. – Jill
There is no actual dog run at Washington Park, but residents have turned the area near the corner of Palisade Avenue and Paterson Plank Road across the street from the stadium into a dog run.
