“Dear PoPville,
We just adopted a very sweet leonberger who would LOVE to play with other dogs at a fenced dog park but would probably be happiest with companions of a certain size who will gleefully body check him, etc. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Scuttlebut: New Dog Park in Eckington (Bryant St) + Staircase next to CIty-State Brewery. I would say it is at the end of Bryant ST NE where one would enter the MBT trail entrance near the Rhode Island Ave metro pedestrian bridge. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Have you heard anything about the reopening of the recreation facilities on 9th Street (dog park/basketball court/skate park). I have gotten no information from the ANC, the Council 1 Reps or the DC Parks Department. Looks ready to go.”
