Dog Park Receives New Leash on Life
The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved extending the life of the city’s only dog park Wednesday.
Under the motion introduced by Councilman Michael Woo, Laurel Canyon Park on Mulholland Drive will remain open to dogs through March 1, 1990, instead of closing in September. In a concession to opponents who said they were awakened by dog barking, the morning hours when dogs can run free of leashes will now be from 7 to 10 a.m., instead of dawn to 9 a.m.
The off-leash privilege resumes at 3 p.m.
A Board of Recreation and Parks hearing Monday on the dog-park issue was interrupted when one woman delivered a plastic bag that she said contained 35 dog droppings gathered at the park. Board members angrily asked her to remove the bag from the chambers.
