Quality Hill Park was shut down in November for drug and safety concerns, now its part of pilot program to make room for more off-leash dogs.
Even a dog owner who lets their pet off leash in a wide open field far away from any other people in Cheesman Park could be making the park less welcome to other users, Johnson emphasized. If a family with small children or someone who had a traumatic experience with dogs in their past sees that from a distance that may make that person wary of returning.As outlined in the numbers Johnson provided to Denverite, park rangers favor an education-first approach to off-leash dog violations.
District 10 city councilman Chris Hinds is a dog lover and on Monday shared his excitement about finally having a dog park in Capitol Hill, a portion of his district where he knows off-leash dogs complaints are common in unsanctioned areas like Governors’ Park. “It’s in the right spot. It’s in the heart of one of the densest neighborhoods in the city,” Hinds said of the Quality Hill dog park. “We want to make sure that if we are going to ding people for not following the rules we give people reasonable options to follow the rules.”
