Longwood Park
748 Longwood Ave.
748 Longwood Ave.
When I
arrived, I noticed a pole that contained trash bags for dog owners to pick up
after their dogs. Also, there are many trashcans provided for one to throw it
away their trash. As I walked around I saw a man walking his dogs, but he did
not even bother to pick up after his dog and the smell was disturbing. Despite
the bags provided to dog owners, some will continue to disregard the fact that
they have to pick up after their dogs. As I continued to walk around the park,
I noticed the nice grass area with lighting surrounding the area and thought
that this that would be a nice place to hang out with a group of friends.
