While I already paid my annual fee for lock code access and green doggie badge, I wouldn't hesitate to support this park at twice the price. My dog loves it, and its probably the only place where he can go leash free. What I do not support is the influx of illiterate "breeders" who insist on bringing their bratty underage children into the park. Actually, one of the reasons I paid the $24 to go here is to escape the screaming children in my own neighborhood on dog walks.	+

	+ ------ + ''2013-05-18 11:01:07'' [[nbsp]] I recognize that it took a decade of work to get just one dog park open, but it's pathetic compared to parks in other cities. The site in Greece is a fenced in gravel pit with absolutely zero shade, locked with a code so no visitors may enter. I have been to dog parks in Pennsylvania, Maryland, NOVA and DC, they all have grass, trees, and no lock on the gate. They have no admission fees, no weird dog-park ladies playing supervisor. And every one was clean, the dogs were well-behaved despite the open admission. The Greece park has the atmosphere of a prison camp. --["Users/Rufus"]

You now have 2 dog parks in Monroe, with more to follow. If you're still letting your dog off leash in a public park, there's no real excuse anymore, and a ticket is well deserved. --["Users/jimjt"]

If you bring in your registration/receipt for the dog park and fill out a form within 30 days of registering, they will send you a $25 gift certificate to their store.

I have found that people pick up after their dogs but there is only one waste can at the front. People put the waste in the bag and then leave it on the ground do take with them to the can when they leave. For the most part this place is great. One suggestion i would have is to raise the water level in the pond and maybe add airation. Maybe by raising the water level it would help with all the mud. Just a thought.

But there is a beautiful space for dogs of all sizes that encompasses a great swimming area and lots of parkland. But what good is a dog park when unregistered dogs and owners are able to enter and are oblivious to the rules. My small dog was rushed at the entryway by unsupervised large dogs. There was aggression between dogs- again no owner available-- and dog poop left around. There were perhaps a couple of dozen dogs there and only a few had the green tags signifying they had paid for their permit and been apprized of the rules. An enclosed area is much less sanitary and safe than an open area -- and if the permits aren't enforced the park provides no advantage save avoiding fines. I hope they plan to enforce the permit procedure. We are asked to "self-police"-- no way am I approaching strangers with large rambunctious dogs to remind them of "the rules" when I am in the minority. + --["Users/jansu"]

	+ ------ + ''2010-02-10 09:27:04'' [[nbsp]] I live about two miles down the road from Durand-Eastman Park and use it several times per week, all year round. My complaint, however, is the irresponsible dog owners who use the park, as well. Now, don't get me wrong, I LOVE dogs and most animals; I have two dogs who I love like my children, and BOTH of whom I LEASH when I bring there, even though they are the friendliest hounds in the world. Let's get this straight, DURAND EASTMAN IS NOT A DOG PARK!!! Yes, it is thought of as such but it is ILLEGAL TO WALK YOUR DOG/S OFF LEASH REGARDLESS OF THE SEASON!!!. I am not afraid of dogs, but when I am jogging and I come upon a group of 2-10 people walking their dogs, I am not fond of being jumped on or barked/growled when I am minding my own business and trying to get some exercise. What's worse, however, is that these groups of people block the entire path road, run in all directions to leash their unleashed dogs (which cut me off, as well, BECAUSE THEY ARE ILLEGALLY OFF LEASH). ALSO, I am tired of stepping in dog poop that these same irresponsible owners are too lazy, uncaring, and selfish to pick up. Furthermore, I have been rushed by American bulldogs, bull mastiffs, German Shepherds, rottweilers etc., and even though I put up with it (because I realize it's not the dogs' fault,but rather their irresponsible and selfish owners), I know that many people are afraid of dogs, and children could be and have been knocked over by them. Just because you know your dog is friendly does not mean strangers will automatically feel at ease just by you pathetically saying "he's/she's friendly"; think of other people who use the park, and don't ruin things for responsible, smart dog owners. For those of you dog owners who are thoughtful, responsible, and law-abiding, this rant is obviously not toward you, just to the ignorant, selfish, irresponsible dog owners. I saw a lady get a ticket for having her rottweiler and German Shepherd off their leashes deep in the park (Log Cabin Road), and I was applauding the cop for punishing her for this careless, selfish habit. --["Users/phaceless"]
