Enter at your own risk- park is poorly managed and does next to nothing regarding dog attacks.
The park itself is beautiful and, if managed better, would be a great place. For years, our dog loved to socialize with other dogs in the park. It was also a nice place to get to know neighbors.
My dog was attacked by a Doberman at the Lincoln park across from Holy Angels School. The owner did nothing to stop his dog. We called the police, and later found out that the park is under park district police, not Aurora Police.
The park district police did as little as possible. The report was poorly written and left out many important details. Luckily my dog was ok, needed several stitches, but had a full recovery.
I filed several FOIA requests to see if their had been any other complaints against the Doberman's owner. I was shocked to find out that the owner's dog had several complaints filled with park district police prior to my incident and he was still allowed back in the dog park. In one case, shortly after my incident, his dog attacked a woman and her dog at the park. Women needed to be taken to emergency room.
Turns out that the park admin and dobermans owner knew each other. As a result, the owner got a pass after each incident It appears that their relationship is of more importance than the safety of those paying to use the dog park.
Would seem appropriate to ban aggressive dogs and irresponsible owner's. When safety is at risk, a one strike policy would prevent reoccurrences. read more
