Drama surrounding a new dog park in Chevy Chase began last fall when the village spent $134,000 to turn a muddy triangle of land into a park where pups could run off-leash in a fenced refuge.

Opponents say dogs bark too loudly and disturb the community’s peace. The town’s Board of Directors will hold a public hearing next month about disbanding the park. [Washington Post]
