content: Well, now why is this large dog park just a large basin, surrounded by a fence - so when it rains, it turns into a lake?  How did that happen?  Just filling in the muddy holes isn't going to fix this or create a dog park the central city can be proud of\n\nLet's look at the small dog park opposite it and notice that the land is sloped and as such, rainwater drains nicely and the park can be open the day after a rainstorm.\n\nNot so, the larger dog park.  It will now be closed for weeks while we watch the \""lakebed\"" dry up. Too bad this wasn't thought out more thoroughly by the planners.  There are so many other areas within Indian Steele Park that would have worked..\n\nHappy to have a large dog park?  Yes, I am.   But it could have been planned more carefully.\n\nWill it ever be fixed?\n\nKona
