• Would love to see the bottom of the chain link fences placed in cement so the gaps are gone. Small dogs can push right under there. Wonder if someone would donate their time and resources to do that. It’s been a problem for years. We’ve all tried different ways to fix that, but I think cement would be the best option.

• Maybe grass? Plants? Love this. (Lili Charmoz)
• Just an idea. Rick Barker and I were the first ones to use the dog park a long time ago going there 2-3 times a day. Along came others. It would be nice if they had a dog hall of fame or legends of the park posted there for fun that were the original dogs there. Dogs like Stavaro, Maverick, Zues, Bella, Macko, Gracie, Lula, Freida. Also, the park is called the Rick Barker Dog Park, not the Idyllwild Community Dog Park. (Glen Canale)
• I wonder if it’s feasible to have a poop bag Dispenser on each side because a big problem is people NOT picking up after their dogs. The scooper and shovels are fine but if there was also something easily accessible maybe it would be easier. I carry my own baggies but I don’t see many others doing the same. (Laura Huff)
• I’d like to know if any of the abatement and weeding can be done with volunteers from the community. If there’s a way to organize that I would like to also volunteer. Saving on labor costs in the fundraising process and more proceeds can go to infrastructure. (Patrick J. Pearson)
