Apparently some folks are apoplectic because Silver Lake Recreation Center staff have the nerve to close the restrooms from Saturday night to Monday morning to….wait for it….clean the public restrooms. That’s right. Staff has been yelled at, threatened, and given multiple “side eyes” because they need to close the restrooms for cleaning and sanitizing.

So, for those who thought dogs were prohibited, that has changed. Leashed dogs are allowed. And per usual, a large percentage of dog owners have flipped the bird to the rules, and allow their dogs to roam, run, poop, pee, dig, bark, chase and bite with impunity. The Silver Lake Recreation Complex is gravely understaffe

Some dog park users are up in arms because, as with the public toilets, park staff, once again, have the nerve to close the dog parks Tuesday night and reopen Wednesday morning for required and much needed cleaning and maintenance. Dog park on-line chat groups have advocated for ignoring the closures, and basically making the work lives of staff miserable. What is it with some dog owners?!
