	+ ------ + ''2009-10-16 20:17:37'' [[nbsp]] Some friends of mine at the dog park and I have discussed a really different "fix" for the bathrooms and pedestrian access issues. Midway down the south side, a pedestrian ramp bridge with it's own gate (for closing after dark) could be installed, elevated over the protected wild area, and lead to another doggy airlock gate. Doing this would allow space for a potty at the top, on the level of second street. Peds and pups would also no longer have to dodge 2 cars on a 1.5 lane road walking down to the park. --["Users/PopeChristof"]

It's the most crowded in the couple hours before sunset. My dog used to be kind of scared and antisocial when I first started bringing her, but I did the same thing and eased her into it during the really dead hours...and then eventually she worked her way up to being comfortable with all the dogs. --["Users/sam120287"]

- ''2008-11-06 23:45:39'' [[nbsp]] I come to this dog park frequently... about three-five times a week for over a year (minus the rainy season of course). - - For those of you who wanted a sidewalk: congratulations. We now have gravel that everyone can trip on/get in their shoes and the dogs who actually enjoy running in the park have been suffering minor scrapes and bruises. - - For those of you who are afraid to bring their dogs here because of aggression: Yes, there is some aggression, narrowed down to only A FEW DOGS. I have had friends get bitten by these dogs, and the dog owners just leave without giving any form of information even though both human and dog are clearly hurt and bleeding. That is not only rude, but just wrong. How do we know if your dog is current on shots? How do we know if we need to get a rabies shot/get our dog a rabies shot? We don't. However, this is fairly rare, I've only seen true dog aggression maybe twice in the last year. A little barking and "pushing", in my opinion, is not aggression. Either way, I feel that aggression stems from not being properly socialized, and if you choose not to take your dog to the dog park, later down in the road if you decide to come, it will be YOUR dog that is aggressive. - - Also, there is now a small dog park located within toad hollow, probably due to "small dog owners being afraid of aggression." Well, all I have to say is have fun with that. Your dog and all the other anxious/panicky/petrified/shaken/startled/terrified dogs will be perfect for each other, cowardly hiding in their own individual corners. Look on the bright side, maybe now you won't have to pick up your dog every time you hear a little yap since all the other dogs in there are just like yours. - - IMO, money would have been better spent on lighting instead of all the fencing and gravel. - - --["Users/JennPham"] - ------

	+ ------ + ''2009-05-31 19:13:13'' [[nbsp]] I love to take my small dogs to the dog park. The small dog area is perfect on days when there are many large dogs. My 9 month old chugs (chihuahua/pug mix) Simon and Bowkey can be timid around large dogs. However they love to watch all the dogs and will run with the pack after a warm up time. The other great thing about the dog park is that you don't have to worry about the people there, as they for the most part are reasonably well adjusted, as evidenced by their love of dogs. --["Users/HazelWatson"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-01-13 23:54:58'' [[nbsp]] RE Fencing & Gravel: While I also was opposed to creating a smaller park w/in a park, the small dog area was a major issue for many community members and came out of many, many community meetings that formed the basis for the Toad Hollow Master Plan. Both this fenced area and the walkway were requested by the community and were incorporated into the master plan. Perhaps more importantly, the walkway makes Toad Hollow more friendly to the elderly/frail and folks with disabilities -- the walkway brings Toad Hollow in compliance with the ADA. It's all about compromising to meet the needs of many, right? + + Oh, and the lights just aren't going to happen. We asked for them throughout the master planning process and were told it's not an option, and we continue to bring up the lighting issue. One of the issues with installing lights is that Toad Hollow is the lowest point in Davis... it's a natural drainage for the entire downtown area. So it's the first place in town that floods. All it takes is one good day of heavy rain to flood the area. We even asked about using existing street light standards to flood the park, but that was nixed as well. We'll continue to push for lights, but don't hold your breath. (Let's not even talk about bathrooms! Can you imagine what would happen when the floods come?) + + If you really want to effect changes, I encourage you to join Davis Dog Owners' Group, or at least subscribe to the list server, where you can find out about opportunities to get involved. In fact, the city of Davis Parks Master Plan is currently being updated (there have already been several community meetings and surveys), and the Parks Commission is scheduled to make decisions regarding the updates this Thursday, January 15. + + Oh, and IMO, I also agree that segregating aggressive dogs can be counterproductive, unless the dog truly cannot be controlled. Rather than setting up an aggressive dog for a lifetime of limited contact with other dogs and humans, it seems preferable to invest in additional training. If the training methods these owners have used are not working, they may want to consider different training methods. Some dogs are just smarter than their owners, making them difficult to control!

	+ ------ + ''2008-08-12 13:07:30'' [[nbsp]] This is an excellent dog park, lots of fun. The plastic lawn chairs are a nice addition. My dog prefers the smaller dog run at Community Park -somehow she is more playful there, maybe she can "connect" better when there are fewer dogs. I have heard a A LOT of talk - from small dog owners mostly - about being afraid to bring their dogs here because of aggression. I know one dog that was attacked, unprovoked, twice. I don't know the specific circumstances but plead with people to be responsible when they go here & not ruin it for others. Many people plant themselves somewhere to socialize, text message, read, etc without attempting to monitor their dog. The park is huge & things can get out of hand quickly. Also, lack of attention is no excuse for missing dog poops - the corners of this park are frequently peppered with poops. I know that saintly volunteers pick up regularly after these people's dogs, so I can only imagine what the place would be like without them. --["Users/Dora5"]

- Toad Hollow Dog Park was won through years of Davis dog owners attending City Council meetings that often left owners in chambers until almost midnight, hours spent planning and identifying potential locations that weren't wanted by any other local groups, meetings with Parks officials and reviewing strategies used in other cities, and even calculating the number of dogs in town per capita. Locations identified years earlier were snatched away mid-process by groups such as the Sierra Club. This project received tremendous support and encouragement from the Parks department while councilmembers were pretty lukewarm on the concept of a city-sponsored dog park. Park users should keep in mind that this park exists only by virtue of all those who continued the struggle in a public and very divisive forum and, as ["Davis cemetery" history] has shown us, it takes just a few persistent voices to lose this valuable resource.	+ Toad Hollow Dog Park was won through years of Davis dog owners attending City Council meetings that often left owners in chambers until almost midnight, hours spent planning and identifying potential locations that weren't wanted by any other local groups, meetings with Parks officials and reviewing strategies used in other cities, and even calculating the number of dogs in town per capita.

Additional community input was gathered and discussed with Parks representatives who will draft a proposed sketch of the area for presentation and further discussion at a follow-up meeting on July 20 at 6pm [most likely at the ["Hattie Weber Museum"]]; the results of this second meeting will be presented to the ["City of Davis"] Parks & Recreation Committee at their August 17 meeting, and the community is strongly encouraged to have a presence at that meeting. Proposed improvements include + a 6-foot wide ADA-compliant walking path along the park perimeter with distance markers for users who would like to incorporate an human exercise aspect + more trees outside the fenceline to provide additional shade + permanent benches just inside the fenceline as well as permanent conversation benches beneath existing tree clusters + a fenced "small dog" area immediately adjacent to the drinking fountain and including the southeast corner of the park - this area would have a separate entrance and access to drinking water for small dogs + additional trash cans + a permanent bulletin board and area for lost/found items as well as some landscaping in this area + a sign on the pole at the park entrance identifying the park as well as a highly visible flag indicating open/closed status + *a phone number users can call to find out when the park is open/closed + Some user requests including an additional drinking fountain, plastic bags, restrooms, additional parking, lighting, water feature and dog training equipment were set aside because of logistical issues. Meeting attendees were reminded that the City of Davis does not provide additional funding to support improvements to the area for dog park users; the cost of these improvements are likely to be borne by park users unless alternate funding sources can be identified. +

- Toad Hollow Dog Park was won through years of Davis dog owners attending City Council meetings that often left owners in chambers until almost midnight, hours spent planning and identifying potential locations that weren't wanted by any other local groups, meetings with Parks officials and reviewing strategies used in other cities, and even calculating the number of dogs in town per capita. Locations identified years earlier were snatched away mid-process by groups such as the Sierra Club. This project received tremendous support and encouragement from the Parks department while councilmembers were pretty lukewarm on the concept of a city-sponsored dog park. Park users should keep in mind that this park exists only by virtue of all those who continued the struggle in a public and very divisive forum and, as history has show us, it takes just a few persistent voices to lose this valuable resource.	+ Toad Hollow Dog Park was won through years of Davis dog owners attending City Council meetings that often left owners in chambers until almost midnight, hours spent planning and identifying potential locations that weren't wanted by any other local groups, meetings with Parks officials and reviewing strategies used in other cities, and even calculating the number of dogs in town per capita.
