City parks go to the dogs

Editor: Big houses impact quality of life in this city.

Editor:

This hug-a-pit-bull thing is the last straw.

The “City of Parks” has in reality become the “City of off-leash dogs.” The parks are empty except for dog people and their hounds – most of them off-leash.

Many dog owners do not seem to realize that other people should be able to take a quiet stroll through, say, Crescent Park, without being assaulted by barking, growling dogs.

It’s a shame and a waste that in Surrey, dogs have more rights than citizens in the parks.

Mayor Dianne Watts, please put some money into bylaw enforcement so that ‘non-dog’ people can begin to enjoy the beautiful parks we have here in Surrey.
