[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious when this started?  I used to take my dog there all the time and had no idea that there was a waiting list.[/quote]

I'm not sure but there are signs everywhere that only dogs with membership tags can go in, even if they're on leash. It's weird because when we walk by during the week there's no one there. That's why I started to suspect something was going on, and then the ANC thing provided more details.[/quote]

There are no people with dogs there during the day because the dog hours are restricted to a few hours in the morning and again in the evening so people who aren’t dog people can enjoy the space without dogs. The grounds are open to everyone at no charge, but if you want to bring a dog, you have to abide by the dog hours and register them. It’s not some conspiracy or NIMBY thing…it’s a neighborhood amenity that is open to all.

This is not true. Registered dogs can enter whenever the park is open. Only off-leash hours are restricted.[/quote]

To clarify - registered dogs can enter at any time, and they have some specific off-leash hours.  Non-registered dogs can never enter, even though the park is typically empty.  That's why the rules are suspect - dogs are always allowed in.  They could just register more dogs.  Off leash hours could stay they same.

Has anyone here every gotten off the waitlist?  We're wondering whether they ever allow locals who live in the apartment buildings.  Or if it is as screened as it seems to be.[/quote]

You should ask. [/quote]
