[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again. I guess part of my question was also how other non-dog owner parents feel about the situation and whether I'm overly sensitive, but after what happened in AU Park, I think I'm not nuts if I think there is a risk.[/quote]

OP, I live in CCDC near Lafayette and recently had a very pleasant email communication with our police commander, asking him to have an officer patrol the upper park duing high kid traffic hours (weekend mornings).  The CCDC listserv has the same crazy arguments as this thread about once a year so I didnt bother to post there first.  same experience as you - playful dogs chasing balls or sticks, noy looking to eat children, but on the playground where my kids are.  They run down from the field where there is sort of a neighborhood truce about off leash dogs, and the owners stand there halfhartedly calling the dogs.  I got taken out at the knees once, and we've had plenty of hand sniffers, owner nowhere around.  My older kid is afraid of dogs, and while I'm om with the 'truce' on the firle, when the dogs creep down to the swings and climbers, i draw the line.

Dog owners, if you let them run free at Lafayette, Commander Reese is on the task.  Oh, and he also told me to all 911 if i see it.  [/quote]
