it is an off leash area, would be better to keep the little ones outside of it IMO, at all

as a child i witnessed my sister almost getting mauled by a dog that was taller than her, and she was scared shitless by dogs, i'm not against dogs but the way people make them and train them (or lack thereof) can be extremely troublesome... like, i have chihuahuas right next to my house now, and the windows don't seal out the sound, and about 5 times a day i'm treated to the smaller one squeaking for half an hour straight or the bigger one yapping at nothing or yapping because the other dogs are yapping, and there's some especially noisy dogs across the road that are constantly going into howling choruses

and none of this would be happening if these animals were being given walks, and there's plenty of perfectly good footpaths around everywhere for them to be taken on, but no, they just keep them in these fucking cages and the animals make a constant racket, and this is normal here

occasionally when walking down roads on more remote parts of the local areas i run into dogs that are not even kept inside, and man, i gotta tell you, the temptation to get large rocks and kill these things is almost overwhelming for me

so, you know, people actually giving their dogs the much needed time to run amok and play in a safe place is really a good thing and i approve of it very much and small children should not be inside the enclosure, not the other way around
