The Brooklyn Courier writes about the Brooklyn Bridge Parks Commission’s push to coral dogs’ effects in the park:

The Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy (BBPC) has introduced a new initiative that attempts to balance the interests of dog lovers and those who would rather see only kids rolling around in the grass.

The Green Dog Initiative started because the four-acre Main Street City Park, which opened in the fall, has already become rather dog-eared from the burden of paw traffic. […]

Participating pooches would get to flaunt an “I’m a green dog” tag. […]

Terry said that dogs will eventually be allowed through most of the 1.3 mile park – except in naturalized areas and playgrounds.
