Extra patrols are underway at a popular dog park at the state line because police say it’s being used by men looking to have sexual encounters. Patricia Simonet Laughing Dog Park was the first dog park in the Spokane area but now Liberty Lake police say that men show up, meet and have sex in the park. They say the men are becoming more brazen and the problem is getting worse as people are trolling the park’s parking lot at all hours of the day. Jill Regalado and her dogs come to the dog park a lot but she didn’t realize what else goes on here/McKay Allen, KXLY. More here.

Question: Should Coeur d’Alene be worried that its soon to open dog park, Central Bark adjacent to the Northshire subdivison off Atlas, will attract the same problem?
