The Editor,
Re. “More dog parks” (Opinion, The Tri-City News, Dec. 14).
We don’t need more doggy parks.
The whole of Port Coquitlam is one big doggy park, and as far as putting in lights and other amenities at existing doggy parks, that’s great, put in doggy showers and dryers while you’re at it.
And regarding The Tri-City News’ editorial stating there’s not much to doggy parks, I would remind the editor that a city lot is now worth approximately $500,000 — before the bark mulch, water and pet waste containers that you asked for are put in place.
Yes, dogs are a fact of life, so let’s see dog owners step up and pay for these amenities through increased licensing fees and fines.
