We observed one incident in which a middle-aged woman (possibly NIMBY neighbor) was emphatically pointing police to the bedraggled hippie perpetrator of some alleged crime, and multiple police moved in to arrest/cite the kid. No patrolling officers were seen moving around the playground, dog park, or gay beach/fruit shelf regions (see semi-accurate map with non-colloquial region names here), and the pot brownie/truffle/cold beer purveyors were all making their rounds unabated. Any word from readers regarding citations issued would be appreciated.
And just a note: Why only the citations for drinking? Is this even a legal off-leash dog park? We believe this has to do with neighbors on Dolores Street between 18th & 19th getting fed up with the never-ending party outside their windows and police responding (hopefully temporarily), to turn down the volume a bit. Our continuing coverage as the weather improves...

we got busted pre-crackdown a couple of months ago while playing hide and seek in the park "after hours."
we clearly all had booze, but we set it down before they approached us.
the cops asked for everyone's identification, and chose one at random, and issued that person a citation for an open container violation. the officers explained that as long as we were quiet, they wouldn't return, but that whenever someone along the park's perimeter complains, they have to come out.
sounds like it is the neighbors ruffling the feathers here.
meet you at the park tomorrow for more research? ;)
The cop had a point. As long as you keep the noise down and don't leave your trash lying around the neighbors aren't going to have a legitimate reason to complain.
I have no idea if it's a legal off-leash area, but when I take my dog there (usually Saturday mornings around 9) pretty much all the dogs are off-leash and everyone's cool. I wouldn't do that when it starts to crowd up, though.
Was in the park Saturday afternoon. There was definitely at least one cop walking around the park but he didn't seem to care about our group that was drinking.
yeah... I was in the park from about 2pm to 6pm on friday hanging out above the playground by the palms and was not harassed by any police officers while I drank a couple of 40s with my friends. I was keeping my booze in my bag since I'd read that they were cracking down, but I never once saw an actual officer.
Most importantly, I took all my trash with me when I left.
Dolores is a legal off-leash dog park, I think that, technically, only the large grassy area by the tennis courts is supposed to be off-leash.
What the fuck is Dolo Park?
Yeah, for the love of all that is good and holy, please stop with the Dolo crap. Thanks.
Amen. If you have to shorten it just say Dolores. Dolo has to be one of the worst abbreviations I've ever heard.
Jay is either being cheeky with "Dolo", after its usage caused much consternation in the previous thread, or else he hates us.
I think he is being cheeky. mocking me really. people (i know) use the term dolo because it also means the down low...
Still, that's almost worse. Do we really need to have a terrible and ironic nickname for Dolores Park?
More importantly is that any usage, regardless of the intent, will spread this horrible name and people out there might pick up on it and spread it further. The only way to stem the flow of this is to never, ever discuss it or mention it again. Hopefully we can stop it before it's too late and/or someone opens a restaurant with that name.
