The Crevasses of Silver Lake Dog Park

Since it has been awhile since I've taken my boys to the Silver Lake Dog Park, we thought today would be a good day to burn off some of their excess energy. Because my little guys are small, we go to what I refer to as the "kiddie pool" of SLDP meaning that we are relegated to the small section of the park. It's certainly less desirable than the big portion but it's much safer and that's what's important.

As a whole, it's never been THAT great of a park - the people and dogs who go there really make it special - but ever since these rains have occurred, it's gone <em>way</em> downhill...literally. The large dog park side is much higher and all that rain (or water from their fountain) has streamed down and greated huge crevasses in both sides. And they are so large in the little side that my boys heads barely poke out when the venture inside.

What I'm getting at is that this cannot be safe. I can deal with the lack of grass, the small nature of the park, the lack of trees and benches but these cracks are deep. All it is going to take is a little dog running at full speed getting their leg caught and you've got disaster. So, I'm wondering what can be done about this fact? Better drainage or better landscaping? And can my boys get some grass...please?

Good evening. I am more and more convinced that our happiness or unhappiness depends more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves. Help me! There is an urgent need for sites: Today stock pick. I found only this - top five stock picks. If you not vary in signs, you focus your hands against male analysts. They after posited for the surface to pay little in the supplemental draft. With best wishes :confused:, Rafferty from Mauritania.
