Dogs Officially ‘Personae Non Woofis’ in Big Chunks of Prospect Park

Stroller moms in Park Slope who want their kids to be able to romp in poop-free grass must be happy about these bright-blue new signs all over Prospect Park saying dogs aren't allowed in certain areas, even on a leash. But others, mostly dog-owners, aren't so happy. "There is a perception out there that dogs ruin the park," says one guy. "Well, 20 grown men wearing cleats on a muddy Sunday do more damage than any dog ever could." Not more than one of those killer dogs with poison-laser eyes and tractor feet! You see those in Prospect Park sometimes. [Brooklyn Paper]
