Dedicate some parks, or at least one park, exclusively for the use of visitors bringing dogs to the park. This solution assigns property rights to dog owners and allows them to use the park with their dogs without detracting from the enjoyment of non-dog owners. It also addresses the concerns of dog owners who feel excluded from using public space and promotes responsible pet ownership. Imposing a two-tier entry fee system or a fee only for dog owners would be discriminatory and may not be feasible to enforce.
