Private housing estate question

The point is you cannot properly clean up dog **** on grass.  However much you try, it's not going to be perfect. If it's an area of grass kids are going to be rolling about on, you don't want dogs in there, ever. 
I have dogs, and I wouldn't dream of taking them in a kids playground they were not allowed in.

We have an estate Facebook page and it was posted a few weeks ago by one resident that as it is summer and school holidays coming up expect kids to be playing in the street with their footballs and the accompanying noise.. and not to be moaning about it.

A parent?

Yes, a parent.

Thanks for all the comments although the question was about legally not being able to access a private play ground, NOT a council one. The estate is not run by the council and is not subject to council rules.

 I am aware of why some people would prefer it to be dog free. Irresponsible people wouldn’t give a toss about rules anyway. There are enough irresponsible dog owners on this estate that don’t clean up after their dogs.

For the poster that mentioned grass. The surface is not grass, it is hard rubberised material. And I don’t know what you feed your dogs that make poo stick to grass. Quality dog food ( or in my case a raw fed dog) does not stick to grass as it is solid and picks up cleanly.

Please kindly close this post. Thanks

Oh, come on.  if you think you can always get every piece of dog **** of grass you are kidding yourself.  Quality dog food or no.  Dogs get dodgy stomachs like anyone else, whatever quality the food you give them is.

That's true of my dogs, and it's true of all the dogs that **** all over the rugby pitches at my club that we have to clean up before games.  Despite all their owners claiming that they pick up after them.

As they used to say on the Nationwide ads, "It doesn't work like that."

If you want the post to fall off the front page and into obscurity, don't respond to any more comments and it'll soon go away.

I am more unnerved by small dogs than big ones. They can be vicious little things.

If there is a ruling why you can't take your dog in the park the site office should know.

It might be a local by-law?

By-laws would be applicable in public parks, not private land. Making such rules is a matter for the developer or managing agents. Though as I alluded to earlier, goodness knows whether and how they're actually enforced, other than by sticking up a sign and hoping peer pressure will do the trick.

Cheers, I wasn't sure if by-laws were applicable here.

I would assume again that if rules had any legal standing they would need to state the particular law/ act used to' create' the law.

The legal standing would be whatever title documents the proprietors signed up to when they bought their properties. Pretty standard for there to be provision for management rules and regulations to be made.

It's not in the park, it's in the playground. Pretty much all children's playgrounds these days are fenced off within the park and don't allow dogs, in my experience.
