[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Battery Kemble is a beautiful national park situated between MacArthur Boulevard, Foxhall Road, and Nebraska Avenue.

When snowfall allows, the hill on Battery Kemble is an amazing place for sledding and the park has attracted hundreds of families over the last two days looking to enjoy an activity that has become all-too-rare in DC.

One thing Battery Kemble is not is a dog park. There is signage throughout the park requiring, under penalty of prosecution, that dogs be leashed and under the control of the owner.

And yet there are unleashed dogs everywhere in Battery Kemble. Even with so many young children around, owners see fit to let their dogs roam free throughout this national park. We’re not just talking golden retrievers and schnauzers either, but also pit bulls and alsatians.

Are dog owners by and large illiterate? Or do they just believe themselves to be exempt from federal laws?[/quote]

To be frank, we just don’t care. What’s going to happen? I get a $50 ticket or a slap on the wrist? [/quote]

$300 fine and/or 10 days in jail.[/quote]
