It is still lovely. But I remember in the late '90s my toddler son and a friend tobogganing in Sherwood when 2 large dogs came running at us, the owner following behind and yelling not apologetically, "pick up your kids, my dogs don't like little kids."  We weren't in the off-leash area. Unfortunately for the responsible dog owners, it just takes one like that to give us all a bad name.  And incidentally, I just came back from walking my dog in the park and had to twice fend off a very large off-leash dog who was coming at my dog aggressively, and the owner who had 2 other dogs with her, was ineffective at calling him back. Having said that, a park that is frequented by 'regulars' who are responsible and call out the negligent ones, is a park that is used 365 days of the year and they act as an unofficial neighbourhood watch. It's too bad the city can't build a fenced-in area for the dogs to run. As for the snitch, it's too bad she can't see a community when she's staring at it.
