In a small town with only one dog park, it's easy to get familiar with the friendly faces you see on the regular! The original poster of this thread describes being on great terms with the other local dog owners, and that everyone seems to know each other. Let's start this off by saying that dog parks are called dog parks for a very specific and clear reason: because they are for dogs.
Children's parks, on the other hand, are for children. So we can not help but continue to ask ourselves, why would anyone bring their children to play at a dog park? We do assume that most people are aware that dogs, though delightful and wonderful in every way, can be very difficult to control when they are excited or instigated. And small children are very well known for being mischievous instigators. Some people are just out to make trouble, we refer to them here at Cheezburger as 'Karens.' Sit back and let the latest of the Karen debacles unfold while you read through this deliciously frustrating thread. Our votes are clear on this one, a big whopping NTA.
"My town is very small and we only have one dog park around here. Most dog owners know each other at this point. This dog park is very safe and organized, they have a vet nurse office nearby and it's separated into two sections, one for smaller dogs and one for bigger dogs. I have two dogs, one weenie and a pitbull mix.'
Sounds very sensible, one area for large dogs, one area for smaller dogs, and note how neither of these areas is for children! Interesting.
There was something like a dog slide and she'd let her kids go there and she'd get mad when people had their dogs on the slide and would yell at them to make space for her kids. Several owners reminded her this is a dog park.
It is a DOg PArk. Grrr. Frustration.
Peace out Karen.
