Leave a 2 star review
No dog free space in your local park? Leave a 2 star Google Review (2 stars for number two's!).
2 star reviews alert other parkgoers to the dog poop hazard, and demonstrate that there is demand for some poop free space.
Ask for a rent reduction
That nice local park your realtor told lied to you about is actually covered in dog faeces. Ask for a rent reduction — your property is not worth as much since it's situated by a health hazard rather than a nice local amenity.
Money talks.

What's the solution?
All we want is a small section in parks to be dedicated to people, a space where dogs aren't allowed. Here are some ideas of how to do that.
Dogs can (and do) poop on the sidewalks, in the flower beds, all over the parks — they even get their own off-leash areas to crap all over. They have the run of the city. People don't get any dog poop free space.
We don't want to stop dogs using parks — we love dogs! And our data shows they love crapping on the grass. We just don't like playing or picnicking in dog poop. Having no dog poo free outdoor space is unhealthy.
