The Mrs. and I do not own a canine, but the issue of dog parks is a hotly debated topic'round these parts. An organization called "DC Dog" (no, I've never heard of them either) is sponsoring an online petition to encourage the District to help facilitate the creation of dog parks throughout the city. It's a cause we typically support, so if you're so inclined you may access the online petition here. (You must be a D.C. resident in order for your signature to be valid.)

Back when I lived in the Ellington, myself and nearly everyone else with a dog in that building, used the fully fenced-in baseball field behind it (along V, between 14th and 13th) to let our dogs roam free. I heard rumors of people getting tickets for it, but never saw that myself...
That baseball field is locked all the time now, it's only unlocked when various schools in the area use it for sports practice. So, dogs no longer frolic in the baseball field. And yes, the reason it is locked up is to get rid of the dogs, not the drug dealers or prostitutes, at least that's what the dog owners were told by the police.
