Results tagged “park” from South Bay Pets

A post from a couple of days ago generated quite a bit of controversy. A reader told about how she got a ticket for bringing her dog to a Redondo Beach park.

The dog was leashed and the lady was from out of town, but the cop didn't want to hear it. He gave the poor lady a ticket anyway and now she's out $150.

Other readers weren't feeling very charitable about the situation. Some felt the lady got what she deserved. Others gave her dog a hard time.

Well here's the trouble maker. Doesn't look to worrisome to me.

Torrance officials have banned dogs from posted areas at busy Wilson Park during special events, including the Saturday Farmers market.

“Over the years we’ve had so many issues with dog bites,” said Mayor Frank Scotto. “It created a tremendous amount of effort to police that.”

The ban is in place from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays, when the Farmers Market is also held, as well as the day of July 4, the Halloween Carnival, the Spring Boutique and the Holiday Boutique.

Violators will receive the equivalent of a traffic ticket with a fine of $25-$50.

The ban goes into effect 30 days after Tuesday’s City Council meeting, when the ordinance was adopted.
