Since Crest residents oppose a dog park, why not just fence in a large lot and let people bring their dog to romp and play fetch? Most homes here have small lots and running loose on the beach is a bad idea. I remember a young man exercising his two dogs at the fenced in ballpark on Ocean Drive. I would restrict the area to 'one dog owner at a time." Hence, no dogs making lots of noise and no risks of injuries to dogs or their owners.
