[email protected]. Maria Ciampa brings out a lot of good points to what is needed for a dog park in the North End area. Who will take Marisa Di Pietro and Lenny Clark the responsibility to maintain the dog park? Will the dog park have sections for small dogs; a section of large dogs? Will dog owners respect one another so everyone can feel comfortable using this park? We all love our animals, the responsibility is held with the dog owners. The gassy is NOT a dog park. The committee for Parks and open spaces took months of meet- ings to come to some solution to fix up the gassy for the children and adults to enjoy. A lot of money was spent for the gassy, an area for the children to play; the basketball court for the young adults to enjoy after school or summer vacation. Don’t forget during the summer months we have movie night on Wednesdays that was started by Stephen (Virgil), also well known in the North End.

Ask yourself who would want to sit or be near any dog poo on the grass that someone didn’t pick up? There are other areas to walk your dog, Columbus Park; all along the greenway which is a beautiful area, the prob- lem is dog owners don’t pick up and the residents in the North End don’t want dogs in the park. We just don’t have enough responsible dog owners. If you can’t pick it up you shouldn’t have a dog. I’ll agree on one thing, we don’t have enough trash con- tainers in the area and you have to walk until you find a trash barrel, by then you are so fed up you find the dog bags in the streets or the sidewalks.
