Glencarlyn Dog Park
2023 May 17
Great park but there is a huge amount of white privlage and discrimination against the disabled. The regular Caucasian group that also controls the dog park facebook page is blocking access to the disabled park on a regular. I went there the other day to see a branch wedged in the bridge blocking anyone from crossing the bridge. That is the only way handicap people can access the park. I called bull. I asked for the person that did it, so I can tell them why it's wrong. All the privlaged white people just looked. I had to remove it myself. I'm extraordinary disabled from my time in he military.

I then go to the facebook page to tell the page that they can't do that. People start saying that it's common. That they have called the police, the parks department, and the county and nobody cares.

Then my post gets removed. By the administrator of the page. I didn't say anything wrong. I pointed out some illegal activity and i got support from the minority and then they removed all our issues with the violation. Nobody cares about the disabled and others in need in Arlington. This is a violation of the American Disabilities Act. What happens is a disabled person is in the park and some white privlaged person puts the branch in the fence.
The disabled person is going to probably call thr cops for help. And the thing with Arlington PD, they only help themselves and people that have either money or power. Nobody else.

This has been happening at the public dog park on a regular and thr police, parks department, and the city government knows, they kudu don't care. Please help me make them care. It's not right and I cant do everything myself.

Please
