    "Everyone walks their dogs on leash and comply with picking up their dogs poop in poop bags. Everyone seems to walk their dogs at least twice a day and are very aware if smaller dogs come in contact with bigger dogs so that it’s comfortable for everyone to enjoy their time with their pets. My neighborhood is a very active friendly dog spot. "
