Hi, Neighbors. Every day, I walk my dog into the park from Stanton Avenue and we make rounds of the groves.  This year, I am noticing more dog poop being left on the ground than at any other time in recent years.  This is the first year that I've actually had to pick my way around to avoid stepping in anything, especially in Stanton Grove, the one right next to the tennis courts.  If you walk a dog, please take responsibility.  Dog poop left lying around is not as harmless as one might think. From Treehugger: Doggie doo is full of bacteria, viruses, and other nasty microbes that (if left on the ground) will eventually work their way into our springs and rivers and storm sewers, contaminating our drinking water. Other dogs, wildlife, and kids can also be affected by the bounty of bugs poop contains, like adenovirus, parvovirus, giardia, coccidian, roundworm, and tapeworm. It's up to all of us to take care of the park and be considerate of the other people and animals who enjoy it as well.  Thanks for your attention. Diane
