How About an Off-Leash Area for Pets in Edgehill Farm?

I spent Saturday posting up flyers to bring you this website for Edgehill Farm information, so forgive me if I've broken any rules regarding posting signs.  It's certainly much cheaper than buying 236 flyers, stamps, envelopes and paying our property managers to stuff 'em and mail 'em.

We're considering converting the old Edgehill Farm tennis courts into an off-leash area for dogs.  The courts have been unusable for tennis purposes for several years now; it's to the point that it would cost the HOA - which is YOU - tens of thousands of dollars to simply restore it or replace it to the standards you would enjoy by driving to the Cary public courts, which appear to be fantastic.  Converting the courts into a new use (dog park) would save us tens of thousands of dollars while giving our four-legged friends a place to stretch their legs.

I'm a little tired as I write this, so I'll be brief and go into detail later.

At this point, nothing is confirmed but firm planning.  There are a couple of hoops to jump through in this process.  The Master Association Board is unanimously behind the proposed concept.  The entire tennis court would be converted for dog park usage.  That's 13,400 square feet.  The "floor" would be a layer of single-shred wood mulch. 

Access to the proposed park would be restricted to Edgehill Farm Residents.  The board has not firmed up rules because we're not guaranteed to create a park.

Most importantly, what are your thoughts on the concept?    

Everyone I've personally spoken with is supportive if not outright enthusiastic to make something useful from tennis courts.  Leave your comments here as it's step one.
