I probably would. Of course no one (I don't think?) is taking their dog to the dog park just to use the bathroom. But I have an extremely energetic dog (blue heeler/Dalmatian/pit mix) that needs a huge fenced-in area to be able to run in, especially with other dogs. We take him to daycare once a week for the same reason. Plus, Paw Park offers a place for them to swim (which is probably riddled with germs and God knows what else, but that's for another day...). I'm open to other ideas about fenced-in areas where I can let him off leash, but it offers more than what my backyard already does. I'm more curious about how effective the proposed key system will be and if it results in less dogs attending, since part of the appeal for us is our dog getting to play with the others.
