Slow afternoon at the dog park. - Lemmy.world

Tiny dot top middle she was chasing the ball
That’s one hell of a dog park.
Right?
I third that. This looks way nicer than most of the parks my kid used to play at. Dogs really have become the replacement for children.
Fuckin Bel Air dog park over here
It’s in the rich neighborhood.
Damn Eagletonians and their stupidly beautiful and well planned dog parks!
first thought for me is im so jelly

Fascinating picture.

Every tree is precisely where trees don’t normally grow well without some effort.

Perhaps when the landscape designer did the top down view, having trees in the grassed area looked weird.

That’s not even the whole park.

I can only comment on what I see.

Are there “normal” trees elsewhere?

And it’s all fake grass? Did they not get the memos?

Why artificial turf may truly be bad for kids

Artificial turf has become popular for kids’ sports as well as for professional players. The little black crumbs that help support the blades of fake grass may not be so harmless.

If I’m not mistaken those are Trees of Heaven. They’re incredibly impossible to kill and grow anywhere. They’re also horribly invasive.
You are mistaken, they are not the Tree of Heaven. Three distinct types in this park only one of which I know for sure it’s name, blue gum Eucalyptus. All are dog safe according to the city.
Is that real grass? Please don’t tell me that’s an entire plastic covered park?
No way it’s real. There’s not enough dead patches where the grass simply refuses to grow because of too much urine.
Not real, the city gave up on trying to keep the real grass alive.
Where’s the dog, OP?
Got a bit of "aboringdystopia" vibes...the fake grass and curvy walkways
the grass is fake?
Not the original commented but even if it isnt, the biodiversity in it is horrendous. Mine as well just paint it with cement at that point
Most parks near me are not poster childs for biodiversity. There is one where they have planted natural grassland plants and its awesome but most seem to be geared toward little league games.
Very fake, gets a little too hot sometimes.
