As someone who uses the local parks to walk the dogs daily i've noticed just how under used those places are. Especially during the week.
My idea....
I would love to see dog rescue shelters setup their office inside our parks.
It would encourage more people to visit, they could also (for a small fee) allow visitors to take their dogs out for walks in the park. That fee would go back into the up keep of the dogs etc. This would also raise the chances of those dogs in their shelters being re homed. And in the meantime those dogs waiting to be re homed will be a lot happier cos they are getting lots more attention and excercise!
How could you not want to take this little guy out for a walk?
