Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

A few times I have seen a man with a white and beige-ish small dog in Fairland Park. He is usually carrying a can of drink as well. Dogs are not allowed in Fairland. Who am I meant to tell? Unfortuantely I don't feel confident confronting the man on my own. He is there now, or was 5 minutes ago.

 

I have seen him there before. He is obviously local.

 

Thanks for any advice about what to do next time.

 

Cheers

When I say "what to do next time" I mean is there any point in calling the Specials or anyone? Cheers
I think the info board at the park has some phone numbers on it. Try one of them? Snap a surreptitious photo of him too so they can try to identify him.

Yeah. The Boards do have numbers. Forgot that. I sort of want a big van to come screeching (30mph max) around the corner and chuck him and his dog in the back of it... not possible.

I think this is a better idea than to take a photo of the chap!!

I know it can be scary to approach other members of the public with concerns but do try. I'd say something along the lines of 'Excuse me, dogs aren't allowed in this park, it is for children'. Avoid straying into the whole area of the 'potential evils' of dogs - as it sounds confrontational and will put most dog owners backs up straight away. Just politely point out that his dog shouldn't be there.

FYI I used the same line on someone whose dog was in the play area in Finsbury Park once and they apologised and left the area.

If it's the man I think you mean, he does not sit within the railed section with the playground equipment but outside this area on a bench. He has spoken to my son and his friends and does not seem to me to be doing any harm to me. 

People may like to view a 5 minute video made in 2003 in Vancouver. Especially the latter part which shows the city's Victoria Park and how residents and Park officials tackled some of the problems there. These include balancing the interests of different users; and what uses were not allowed.

Here's a link to the page. Then click on Video Archives (on the left)  ─ then on the file Park Partners 14 April 2003. You can stream the file or - if it doesn't play smoothly - download it first.

The other day in Parkland Fair

I met a man who wasn't there;

He isn't there again today -

Oh, I do wish THEY'd cart him away.

oh, it's you then..?

This is a story about four people named Everbody, Somebody, Anybody
and Nobody.  There was an important job to be done and Everybody was
sure that Somebody would do it.  Anybody could have done it, but
Nobody did it.  Somebody got angry about that, because it was
Everybody's job.  Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody
realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.  It ended up that Everbody
blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.
