Dear Editor,
As a frequent walker of South Arm Park, I enjoy the beautiful scenery and relaxing quietness. However, one thing that is most frustrating to me is the fact some people who walk their dogs there think it’s okay to let their dogs do their business (poop) wherever they please. You have to always be aware on the pathway or you may step in something unpleasant!
Dog walkers who are responsible for cleaning up after their dog, Kudos on you, that’s awesome!
Dog walkers who are irresponsible and do not clean up after their dog, it’s disappointing that you think this beautiful park is your pet’s toilet and have no regard for the rest of the community who use the park.
There is an elementary school, a high school and a community center surrounding this park, and with the nice weather, more and more people will be using it.
Please, dog walkers, clean up after your dog, there is a by-law that says this is what you must do. The park should be a pleasant place for everyone to enjoy.
On a side note, please remember also, that South Arm Park is an On-Leash park.
