At the moment Alaqua is the one causing the problem. Everyone is encouraged to post here and have any concerned parties post here also. Sowal cannot be without a top notch dog park and when the back is open our dog park is certainly world class. Tourists are exuberantly complimentary on a weekly basis and as locals we know how important it is. Watching the dogs stare forlornly up top is heartbreaking, they don’t understand why they cannot go up. That said, I do not understand why I cannot go up. I imagine a Facebook group page will be up very soon for invites and info. Any assistance and information Alaqua is willing to share would be welcome as there are people ready to relieve Alaqua of this “burden”. Inquiries are being made through private channels and if anyone else is able to do so with anyone of authority at the county level or Alaqua please do so. We will get on the agenda at an upcoming county commission meeting soon. If “liability” is the issue why is only the nicest part of the park locked up? Yesterday the 26th of December in the afternoon there were close to twenty dogs in both the small and large dog section. These areas are too confining as is, much less when the pools of water are eliminating the use of half the area. And it does not dry up! Apologies for the digression, it’s a passionate topic. Specific info with specific actionable items will be posted tomorrow. Much appreciated and best of luck to us all, human and canine alike.
