So much criticism, so much complaining about the newly opened dog park at Santa Monica Airport! I am among those who hope that West Los Angeles residents and their dogs will be welcomed into the new park, I am reasonably confident that an agreement will be worked out to most people’s satisfaction.
Meanwhile, however, has anyone thanked the decision-makers, the designers and the workers who created this wonderful new area where dogs can run free and where their owners can enjoy the doggie antics and the company of one another? It is a beautiful, clean and thoughtfully laid out park, even if it isn’t right smack in the middle of my own neighborhood — where there isn’t any open land, anyway!
Thank you to everyone concerned. Nothing is perfect; life isn’t perfect. Reading letters in the “Daily Press” saddens me. They are so often about what isn’t good rather than what is.
