Come on over. People have been using it for the last week or so. The dogs love it and the kids have been having fun.

See you tomorrow.

It says nothing about picking up dog waste. Is this going to be a tax payer burden which we have to hire some one to do?

There should be a fee to use this park. I am not a dog owner and don't want my tax dollars allocated to this.

Install a waterfountain? Please.....

1. All dogs must have a collar and ID tag - will someone be there from opening to closing to enforce this and where will there salary come from?

2. Owners must cleanup after their dogs - will someone be there from opening to closing to enforce this and where will there salary come from?

3. Any dog determined to be "aggressive" would be barred Define "aggressive" and will someone be there from opening to closing to enforce this and where will there salary come from?

4. The dogs must be with a person 12 or older - will someone be there from opening to closing to enforce this and where will there salary come from?

5. Dogs less than four months would not be allowed in the park - will someone be there from opening to closing to enforce this and where will there salary come from?

6. Owners would be legally responsible for any injuries they cause - will someone be there from opening to closing to enforce this and where will there salary come from?

7. Dogs must be on a leash except in the designated area - will someone be there from opening to closing to enforce this and where will there salary come from?

Again another "brilliant" well thought out idea courtesy of our town council and mayor.

These will just be rules on the books... like many others..... Hopefully

I don't my tax dollars to pay for this misadventure..... in any wya shape or form.....

Yes dog parks are a collasal failure the world over. Oh wait, no they're not.

I don't have children in schools, I don't illegally park nor do I utilize the Rhoda center, should I rally to have my tax dollars exempted from those areas? It's a community, if you don't want to participate in a community then move further south or out west where your property tax debts will reflect your lack of community based services.

Had: Ian"t it enough that the dog park was built and soon will be in service?

I love dogs,dog park is great,yes people should come prepared to pick up poop. They should also have a dispenser at park with extra bags. Water fountain is fine.
The Holocaust memorial is fine how about part of our Library since kids do not use Library as we did growing up. Also, everyone who is not a Teaneck resident such as a potential homebuyer etc. see Teaneck through the condition of Cedar Lane this is the biggest problem now,not dog park,not which spot to build memorial if we can't
get a price for our homes one day because of "very high taxes" and a main street that we should all be embarassed to call "main shopping district".
We just allowed a very small minority, to dictate keeping distressed properties on a key corner of our former shopping district. Keeping vacant buildings and a contaminated gas station is better,when is Teaneck going to wake-up Re-zone Cedar Lane and bring in development we homeowners can't carry the tax burden anymore. I do not care if Chabad builds a school there anything is better than what is there. When are we going to stop letting a small minority kill projects. Help!!!!!

Patch Police,i did not break your rules? What is it this time?

Thank You!

I don't understand why the big fuss over a dog park. You people are not satifised with anything that is done in Teaneck, Just because you don't own a dog that means the dog park shouldn't exist. Please just shut up about things that don't concern you. You think that the Township should only do things that concern you? You people areconceited to think that the Teaneck government is only here to serve you and the rest of us should just go to hell. Give me a break...newsflash the world doesn't revolve around you yes I'm talking to you (ZIZI AND TEANECK USED TO BE GOOD) complain about everything under the sun. It's something that is good for people in Teaneck and there are 1,000 dog owners in Teaneck that this will benefit. Better than that eyesore of a pool that no one went to. Give me a break and just stuff it already.

I did not know there were so many scrooges in Teaneck. The majority of dog owners will adhere to these rules without regulation and like other dog parks that I've been to things work out because we want it to remain a nice area for our dogs to exercise and have fun. Take a chill pill.

BTW, I'm sure that you did not go to the pools and you did not have children in the public schools. I guess you were against your tax dollars going to there also. Go move to a town where the Tea Party reigns.

I do not have a dog. I don't have children in school. Most of my tax dollars go to the school system. I don't object to that. I want educated people coming out of our schools who will hold good jobs and pay into Social Security which will provide for me in my old age; you too Zizi will benefit.
A dog park will have neighbors coming together talking and sharing ideas. What is wrong with that? This will build a stronger more vibrant community.

Does anyone know if they are going to put another surface of the dirt that is in the dog park now. I know it is a sandy dirt but I still wonder if something will be put over it.

So much vitriol. What would have been great is a dog park not resembling a small prison yard. One that people would have driven to teaneck to enjoy. I drive to ramapo reserve to let my dog exercise. I spend an average of $20 each trip on gas, meal and snacks.

We've been to the dog park 2 x already and they are putting up lights. Our dog loves it. We don't have a big backyard and it's not fenced in so to bring our Puggle there once or twice a week to get her built up energy is the best thing that we could ask for. People that we've come into contact there are very nice and the dogs love it and they get along. So again I don't see what the big deal is. Like someone else pointed out no one was going to the pool there and instead of leaving the pool up or tearing it down and planting more grass they did something for people with dogs to enjoy. We met some nice people there as well. Great idea and we (including our dog) just love it there.

We live close by and my daughter loves walking over to see other dog, so we've been there almost every afternoon. There has never been a day that there were no dogs at the park.

Non-dog owners (and their kids) come over to see the dogs and several even come in to throw a tennis ball to the dogs (convenient being next to a tennis court).

It's a great amenity and nearly silent from the edges of the park, let alone the houses across the street.

Come on by and say hi later.

This is a great idea to an eye sore which was the condemned pool. It brings life to the park and the children do enjoy the dogs. Phelps is a beautiful park come on down.

going to stick to overpeck park though I live in teaneck... after reading the negative criticism on this thread I don't want to deal with that dog park though my taxes went there. my dog has fun at over peck .. am sure people didn't b*** like this when they opened their park.
