RE G IS TE R A T W A TE RL O O CH RO N IC LE .C A /R EG IS TE R Jim Gorham and his wife Gil- lian moved to the Arrow Lofts on Benton Street in Kitchener and love the lifestyle that comes with it, most amenities within walk- ing distance, and public transit nearby. Yet just about every morning, Gorham drives to Waterloo with Becky, their four-legged, full- grown fur baby. Becky, who's part hound dog, needs a place to run off leash, and Gorham said there are few op- tions available to them locally. "Trash Mountain (McLennan Park) - it's just terrible," said Gil- lian. "I fell there because of the big hill that's just like a mud- slide." Because it's situated on top of a former landfill, McLennan Park has had a lot of erosion, and in one area material had washed down the hill, piling up to effec- tively reduce the overall height of the fence, Gorham noted.

Gorham believes Kitchener and Waterloo need better public dog parks and amenities for the growing canine population. Bill Jackson/Torstar
