[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]does anyone remember going there before all of the signs were up? I used to go all of the time with my dog and saw nothing about needing a special tag.[/quote]

Then you must be thinking of 25 years ago when Youth for Understanding owned the property and informally let people take their dogs in.  It was a weedy dust bowl then.  Rosedale Conservancy has always required registration and tags.  Rosedale today is an incredible asset for CP.[/quote]

Oh stop it - Rosedale was beautiful. I grew up three blocks from Rosedale and we used to play and bring our dog. As an adult, I took my kids and dog there to play when we visited my folks. It was lovely and yes, owned by Youth for Understanding. Prior to that it was owned by NCS.

So while in theory I appreciate that the neighborhood was able to purchase some of the land to preserve as green space, the rules and restrictions leave a bad taste in my mouth. I was living in CP with my own family when it became "Rosedale Conservancy" and yes, paid the dues to be allowed to bring our pup to play. But gave it up as the off-leash hours were very limited, and I decided to just take walks in Rock Creek.[/quote]
