Youths need a place to play or they may find the wrong place to be. Care for your communities dogs can play anywhere

Inner city land should be accessible for the children to utilize. It is currently used by kids for its intended purpose. Are you really putting the health of a dog over the health of a human?

Build something that makes sense in the black community. Instead of pushing them back into the streets. Go back to the drawing board and create a funfilled super park

I grew up playing in this park. It's very bad when you put a dog before a child. Save the park for the children

Tarkington Park should be a "destination park" for the kids and adults who live within walking distance and cannot get anywhere else. Splash park? Great! Bocce Ball? Not so much. Football and basketball are the sports the kids in the neighborhood play.

SAVE TARKINGTON PARK ->The children should be more important and included in what is being proposed for renovations. A football field is needed for the youth programs. There are several changes that need to be included in the proposed renovation or it should be a NO GO if these children's needs are not met! Their lives and activities matter to keep them active and out of gangs and other malicious activities. We used this park when we were growing up. There were games, music festivals, a place to enjoy family activities and picnics. We had fun.

Let the kids have there park to keep them out of trouble. Give them something positive instead of taking what they have.

We've ask for pools...nothing. Over 20 years ago they relocated the basketball court wow!! They removed the baseball diamond years ago. All this land and still no football field no respectable parking for a park of it's size, no water park but the city wishes to build a dog park? I know the first thing to be said is the city doesn't have the funding. Well it seems you have it for the dogs. We know how "you people" feel about your pets over "our people" but to pull this smack in the face this community is NOT going for that.

the youth need more than the community profits ... The land is needed for the youth not a dog park
