• We, the under-'-med would like to express our appreci-tion and concern for the <br /> • <br /> • <br /> use of the Wayne. _ Ranch dog park. It seems that a ` <br /> r y 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 /> • <br /> mor- e- using the f r+s 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. 114".2f5e., <br /> It is difficult to imagine Wayne Mefie 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. <br /> 45,65 GreeK � /�a�:I1 _(_1-�� /97�t78 16. ,�s�s . x'7 5 <br /> 4171//70/' s}� ' aPu 3485 Ck&Mb 54. <br /> 2./ 2 J4j-� �C>/� 'D 2'% 17. 9�� 4 {05- t qG7 <br /> .�Q .-Y>r'1 2( -i—.. 0.4dIvog -cis A-N0E2rc!'oizexoCosS io Y <br /> M <br /> 3. -31f , ,O R7z 4 xi D S-r q=q DS 18. 3 1-Y S- //6�-- <br /> i1 -- 1 <br /> 1f(LAAO- .'- '540 w <br /> Ci <br /> 4. 1�P/22./6Q _ <br /> f 1--. �.S 19 ...-- -4'-- <br /> _j fc .cc -.
