A recommendation to expand leash free time at Hawk View and Glen Parks will go before the Encinitas City Council this Wednesday February 10. The recommendation by a Parks and Recreation subcommittee is to approve expansion. This subject has divided the community, the issue is; can mixed use parks work? So far some believe it has not worked. Orpheus Park in preticular. "It's a disaster" states Steve Meiche, who lives near the park. Meiche says: "Until they are able to manage the existing dog parks how can the City responsibly expand to new locations". Meiche sites the City having no system of enforcement or maintenance protocol for managing dog use. "Just simply having more dog parks isn't going to solve any existing problems" said Meiche. PADZ a advocate for expansion has not contacted this blog to state their position.
Meiche provided the following links that document the existing conditions at Orpheus Park.
