One for small dogs, one for large. Having only 1 park can mean larger dogs bullying small dogs. It happens. Who cleans up the poop. Mowing a yard and maintaining a fence is one thing but tell the city or service organization they need to scoop the poop ! Yeah. Who check to make sure the dogs using the park have the shots. Or is it who cares cause rabies and other disease never happens. What about the problem of animals being dumped ?? Depending on your community. Does your local animal control shelter take all animals no questions asked any time ? ? If they do I bet they kill for space. If they don't...always someone who isn't responsible who is looking to get rid of a dog ( or cat). If your local shelter doesn't take all dogs without any problem For Sure people will from time to time bring dogs to your dogpark and just leave them there ! Count on it. Who answers the call when someone ( or their dog) gets bitten ? Who carries liability ? ( Can you tell I hate dog parks?) I like the rest of your suggestions. ( Ok...not sure about Koi ponds). Anyway in general who carries the liability insurance ? Some communities also like skateboard parks. Liability is again the main issue ( plus they aren't cheap to build)<br />John Galthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708866657173222842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-1346141981415573502019-03-22T21:56:29.619-04:002019-03-22T21:56:29.619-04:00We talked about Scout service projects.

Maintenance was the shortcoming.<br /><br />Is it more valuable to install ten bluebird boxes or to clean out fifty and to monitor and evict sparrows for a season?<br /><br />Guess which one is easier to get approved as a service project?<br /><br />They guy who builds the barn is a hero. They guy who stays home and milks the cows for thirty years is a patsy.Eaton Rapids Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102166969915526172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-59104750602366690642019-03-22T21:10:33.030-04:002019-03-22T21:10:33.030-04:00Nice idea.
