Important Community Announcement--Please Read & Heed
PHCA makes this request on behalf of our supportive community friend, Rock Spring Church:
KDO Preschool at Rock Spring Presbyterian Church has a problem with individuals bringing dogs into their park playground and asks for your help and cooperation.
In spite of signs indicating that pets are not permitted on the playground, some people are using the KDO park playground as a dog park: allowing their dogs to run unleashed and to defecate there. KDO Preschool teachers have had to clean up dog waste so the children do not step in it. The presence of dog waste on the playground creates a highly unsanitary condition for the kids.
Additionally, over the past year, KDO Preschool has lost nearly a dozen playground balls because dogs have chewed and destroyed them. In February, the school obtained brand new balls, all of which were destroyed by dogs less than a week after being purchased.
Therefore, KDO Preschool is asking for your help:
- KDO Preschool’s playgrounds are reserved for children’s use only: Dogs are strictly forbidden from the playgrounds.
- If you bring a dog onto Rock Spring Presbyterian Church’s property, please keep it outside the playground gates, on a leash, and clean up after it. (It is the law.)
- If you see someone with a dog on KDO Preschool’s playgrounds, please ask them to leave or remove the dog.
KDO Preschool wants to continue to make the playgrounds available to neighborhood children outside of school hours, but if the school continues to experience the problem with dogs on the playgrounds, they will have no choice but to padlock the fences when KDO Preschool is not in session.
Thank you for your help in making the playgrounds safer (and healthier) for all our children.
A note from ella: Folks, if you know neighbors who don't get the eblast but have dogs and walk them on church property, please give them a copy of this notice and help spread the word about this problem. Let's all be good neighbors to our good neighbor. OK?
