Jackson Heights Life

For those that don't understand the "membership thing" and find it "ridiculous," it serves 3 purposes.  First, it is due to legal and liability reasons for insurance.  It's a good thing in our litigation-happy society.  Secondly, those who actually have a vet and vaccinate their dogs are generally the ones who care about their dogs and have socialized them well.  It's actually a great idea, since any idiot can take his unruly dog to an unsecured, non-membership-based dog run.  Thirdly, it creates a sense of ownership.  Those who wish to go through the VERY SIMPLE process tend to be those who treat the park as if it were their own, and keep it neat, orderly, and maintained.  Have you seen the sorry excuse for a dog run in Astoria?  The place is falling apart.  I don't know what we would do without this place! It's just what my dog needed!  So much space for him and many other of his large playmates!
