As a dog owner in Lower Township, I don't understand why local politicians are spending so much time debating a dog park. Dog owners, local or weekenders, ought to learn how to pick up after their dogs before any talks about a park. Who wants to go to the beach and have feces on the beach, or the sneaky ones who throw sand on it or have dogs running all over the place? Clean up your own mess first and then have a discussion about a park.
