i don’t know why they added a “dog run” to the park. Around me dog owners just let their dogs go anywhere regardless of laws or signs. That “people park” will be ruined by dogs in less than a year.
Dearborn Park is laughably out of place and I love it. Bury them in the shadows! Such a gereat diagram to show what the neighborhood could look like in another 10 years.
