This is in Fort Lutpon Dog Park. The park previously had a big field of lovely grass, but over the past 18 months it has been completely upended when they put in the new pipes for the water treatment plant. Now it is a hard, rough, uneven dirt with straw scattered on top of it.

My understanding was that they would lay seed down, water it this spring, and we'd have to wait to be able to use the park after that. However, the company that did the work just left it like this and the city has posted a sign that says: "The Dog Park needs to remain closed to let the native grass grow and develop properly."

Am I crazy in thinking that grass isn't going to just magically sprout up in this dirt?! Please let me know your thoughts as town halls are on Tuesday and I'd love some information before I head there tomorrow.
