Answer to an E-mail

Our correspondent Winston Smith got this answer to his complaint about dogs on the ballfields, which we posted the other day:

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Off-leash hours are from 5 – 9am and 9pm – 1am in the Long Meadow, Nethermead and Peninsula Meadow, so 8am is ok, but they should not be in the road itself (Center Drive) off-leash. In addition, dogs are not allowed on the ballfields themselves and must be on a leash 6’ or shorter during non off-leash hours.

I will forward your email to our Chief and Deputy Chief of Operations for Prospect Park and ask that this matter be looked into.

Thank you for your interest in Prospect Park.

Nothing will happen.
