<br /> We, the under led/would like to express our apprec; n and concern for the
<br /> use of the Wayne4 Ranch dog park. It seems that a very small but vocal group is
<br /> adamantly oppossed to the single-use park, and we would like to present a more
<br /> positive viewpoint.
<br /> There are many fine multi-use parks in Eugene, but only a few areas designated as
<br /> single-use parks where dogs can be off-leash. These parks are very important to dog
<br /> owners, who use them year-round in all kinds of weather. The vast majority of those
<br /> 0 rS 7 using the Nkffis Ranch dog park make conscientious efforts to "follow the rules" and
<br /> respect the rights of those neighboring the dog park; our dogs are licensed, they are
<br /> kept on-leash outside the fenced area, the noise/barking level is controlled, and we
<br /> pick up and dispose of our dogs' messes in the containers provided within the park. In
<br /> addition, although it is inconvenient for many who take their dogs to the park before
<br /> school or work, the recently imposed hours of closure (8p - 8a) of the east field have
<br /> been complied with. Worse-
<br /> It
<br /> orseIt is difficult to imagine Wayne Mews Ranch being used for some other purpose,
<br /> particularly a multi-use park, without a major investment in renovations on the part of
<br /> the City. Due to the terrain and street run-off, the park is virtually a swamp after a
<br /> couple of good rains, and remains that way throughout the winter and spring. This is
<br /> not a particular problem for the dogs, but we cannot imagine people wanting to take
<br /> their children to play in this; a multi-use park at this site would remain wasted and
<br /> unused for about 6 months out of the year. While this might be the goal of a few, it
<br /> would be a disappointment and great loss for the many people and dogs who now
<br /> enjoy this park throughout the year. '
