The system has worked well over the last couple of years and should not be changed.

Our dog has greatly benefitted from being able to mix with other dogs in a lovely park environment. We also have benefitted by meeting lots of other people from the neighbourhood. We think parents, children and dogs alike should be able to share the park.

At the last Woollahra Council meeting to discuss this park it was decided to keep the restrictions as they were agreed upon and not have any further changes or meetings.

I feel the current rules are more than fair, giving non-dog people the park all day every day as well as wholly on Sundays. We love our dog park and there is a real sense of community amongst the dog owners and supporters. It would be terrible to lose part of the park and I feel the fence would also be an eyesore.

Don't you realise what a treasure for all the community you have in the RHW Park? We have plenty of open spaces in Townsville (with unrestricted hours) for dogs, adults and people, but because the RHW Park is so small, I am always struck by the happy interaction of people and dogs. Please don't take notice of a selfish few.

We frequently bring friends and interstate visitors to the park during the dog friendly hours so that they can enjoy the sight, atmosphere and friendly interaction between owners, their pets and visitors. The park already is a limited resource for dog owners in terms of area and access, further restrictions would diminish the 'livability' of this area for many

If people don't like to be around animals, then they can easily see when the dogs are present and go to one of the other lovely people-only parks. I have been approached by many parents with small children who have asked if their child can pet our medium-large sized dog and they are always thankful and very happy to have had the chance for their loved one to have had the chance to make contact with a dog. Our dog is our loved one.

Most little children love the dogs; espeacially the small dogs, who in turn love the children. Those opposing dogs can comfortably use the wonderful facility at the bottom of Brown St. (Dillon St. Playground), where there is as much grass as they tend to use at RHW Park. Almost all dog "Poo" is left by people who have no community spirit or adherance to Council rules. They also let the footpaths be fowled.

There are dog free times allocated, which gives those people some time to enjoy the space without any canine interruptions. There are a number of local parks in Paddington which totally exclude dogs, and cater for small children and that is great, The RHW park is an open space, currently shared by all in the community.....please stop trying to divide the park and park users ..just enjoy the park.

putting signs up will do nothing but aggravate both dog owners and dog haters - it will increase tentions between these two groups as inevitably a dog will go into the proposed "non dog area" when enjoying the park during the limited off-leash times. To think otherwise is living in la la land!!!

Both people and dogs benefit from this opportunity. We are a group of local people who are conscious of the need to keep the park clean and come armed with plastic bags to pick up after our dogs. Please allow us to keep this important facility as it is currently.

The council have imposed restrictions that are fare for all users.

My dog provides my 5 year old with unconditional love, and he cares if my child has had a bad day.

Taking away the park for the dogs is akin to taking away my daughters freedom .. is this right?
