[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Some of this has been helpful for understanding the dynamic at Rosedale - particularly the archived Washington Post article about the other buyer, and the Rosedale Board member's post about how the waitlist prioritized close neighbors (although I'm not sure what the perimeter is for that).  I'm not sure if some of the defensiveness here is by people who actually live in the area or just trolls, but it does seem consistent with the attitudes on the CP listserv.

Considering that the park is often empty, I do hope that the Conservancy will think more about whether it's a welcoming environment for all and whether some policies could be adjusted to encourage more use of the park (by both dog and non-dog owners). Macomb and the Cathedral Grounds, for example, are very well used by a variety of people.[/quote]

Macomb Playground and the Cathedral Close are not open to off-leash dogs, ever.  And people (whether members or not) are welcome at Rosedale at any time during daylight hours.[/quote]

OP here. As explained in several previous posts, even on-leash dogs must be "registered" to enter Rosedale.  On leash dogs can enter Cathedral Grounds, also discussed above.  I did not say that dogs, off leash or otherwise can enter Macomb playground (dogs do no belong on playgrounds). I did say that Macomb is very well used by a variety of people.  [/quote]
