My name is Cynthia Hughes and I am a longtime resident of Somerville. I have been going to Nunziato Dog park from day one, and am very thrilled to have it for my dogs.
I have been very pleased since the beginning and have rarely had concerns until recently.
I believe the date was Nov 4th (Thurs) I arrived as I do every morning before work (approx 8am) and was surprised to find the park locked again, I hadn't wanted to complain but after a few times going to the park before work and it being locked and not being able to exercise my dogs I was upset.
Especially considering the other half of the park (grassy side) was wide open.
I am not sure why responsible dog owners are being punished and even worse our DOGS, but I would really like to see the policy changed back to a no lock policy.
I am quite baffled as to why it is being locked in the first place, but to put one more responsibility on DPW seems a bit much when every other park in Somerville is unlocked, I don't even blame them, I blame it on the new policy all together.
I hope this can be resolved for the sake of our pets who have little space in our city to begin with, so we really cherish a great park like we have.
Thanks in advance for you attention to this matter
Sincerely,
Cynthia Hughes
Tucker and Tanner too!!
