SRS-
Yes, Prospect Park is larger than life. The FIDO folks and their furry friends do their thing at the Western end of the park, across from the Ethical Culture Center. Nothing is done under cover.
The FIDO folks have just won a Citywide complete legal victory against some malcontents who didn't want to share the parks with dogs off their leases. The hours for dogs off their leases are generally 7 to 9 AM, and owners are responsible for controlling their dogs with voice commands or treats, and picking up the doggy poop. The City agreed that FIDO was doing an excellent job of educating dog owners on their rights and responsibilities and that their staff would revise any out-of-date rules to reflect that reality. Meanwhile the malcontents are still free to roam the parks at random, pillaging at will.
