Q: I have two dogs who like to socialize with other dogs. Where would one go to ask about installing a closed-in off-leash dog park on base? Would this even be a possibility? This would be beneficial not only for pet owners, but for our precious animals as well.

A: Thank you for your action line question. Currently there are dog parks located on board Yokosuka Base along the seawall across from Yokosuka Middle School, at the Negishi Housing Detachment on Skyline Drive and at the Ikego Housing Detachment at Field #4.

Too bad they don't mow it.......last summer, the grass and weeds were over 2 1/2 feet, and some spots....close to 5 ft high! It would also be nice if they had a bench in their, too. I would even be willing to fork out the $$$$ to donate it to the dog park! I think if it was kept up better, people would probably use it more. Oh, and we did ICE it, but never got a response.
