On October 26, 2010 the Nunziato OLRA dog park was locked when I arrived with a friend at 8:05AM.
I have been going to this dog park for a couple of years now and have never seen the dog park locked at certain times. I was shocked to see that there literally is a chain and lock at the dog park entrances. I know that the city of Somerville has been working to make our city a wonderful dog friendly and family orientated community. Thus it seems unfair to have this public off leash recreation area locked especially since no other park is locked in the city. I as well as many others have grown to depend on this space to exercise their dogs in this controlled area. I wonder why residents are being "locked out" during the hours of 8AM-10PM?
It's too bad the DPW is bearing the burden of this unfair lock policy as it creates unnecessary tension between citizens and city employees. I am requesting that the locks be removed.
Thanks for your help related to this matter.
Kind Regards,
