    Default Enclosed dog park in fairmount

    At first I thought it was a joke. Not sure if spreading the word on here will make it happen more or less.

    I'm sure a little 309 will clean up that fake grass in a jiffy. Mmmm, lemon fresh.

    Agree with the thought on the site, outdoor first would be great, even preferable. Dogs love the snow!

    Yeah, why not just buy a plot of land and fence it off for an outdoor dog park. That's all I want. I want somewhere I can let my dog of the leash so she can run around at her leisure.

    Sounds great - you find one that doesn't impact neighbors, is walkable in the 'hood, and costs nothing... I'm all for it!

    No one says it has to cost nothing. I'd gladly pay a surcharge on my dog license to gain access to the park.

    That's what Ocean County does.

    Oh snap, you have to license your dog? The more you know. My dog is fixed and has had rabies shots, where do I get the license?

    If you use a vet in the city they are required to report your name and the dog's info to the city. Your vet would know how to apply for a license.

    I agree paying to use such a park would be more than fair, but frankly if a lot cost $ 50 - 70,000 that's a lot of dog fees up front!

    So who gets to live nextdoor to a dogpark?

    As I said finding such a space would be very difficult indeed.

    They should just fence in a section of Francisville Playground. There's already a little corner triangle separated from the ball fields and the rec center by a driveway and a fence. Fence it in and let dogs use it. Not the ideal location, but it would work.
