Today while I was hiking I stopped in Seylynn Park and sat at one of the park benches (most of which but one were decrepit, the reason for which I was about to find out) facing Lynn Creek at 12 noon to eat the lunch I had packed. In the course of my lunch 3 big dogs off leash as if looking for a handout, stopped to sniff my leg. Could be nice but this park and the locals who inhabit it for their dog walking routine really shows that people aren't into what parks are all about, for people to enjoy, especially with the price of transportation and all that media say about healthy life style, it would be nicer to hike around and enjoy the cities without being harassed. And shame on North Vancouver for not enforcing it's leash laws.

C'mon. Chill out you are overreacting. How can a dog harrass people? Dogs are curious. That's for sure. If you didn't want those dogs to sniff you, tell the owner that you want them off you or tell the dogs to stay off. Harrassment is an overused word, I must say.

Dog owners have little places to go with their dogs where we can let them run free. There are lots of other parks that are on-leashe or simply not allowed. Chill out and go to these other places if don't like animals.

I don't think it's the dogs that are the problem, but the owners. I think that if you own any animal you need to know it's limitations. If your dog has problems off the leash, then leave him on the leash and if you want to let him off the leash go to a place where there is no one! We rescued a rotty from a drug house in surrey. She is a good girl and listens when she is called but she is a big dog. I know she has problems with other dogs so I know not to take her off the leash. I'm just asking people to be smart so that in the future we can take our animals places and don't have to leave them either at home.

We have a very vicious black labrador whose main targets are ladies bums that he likes sniffing. he also likes sniffing the odd dog. Shame on these animals, lock them all up and leave the parks to rapists and freaks.

Seylynn Park is a disgrace to the District of North Vancouver, and you're right, there is absolutely no enforcement of leash laws. My 1-year-old, minding his own business at the children's playground, was chased by a vicious off-leash terrier of some kind last year. I yelled at the owner, but I don't think she really gave a damn. I never bothered returning to that park. Seylynn is a dog park, not a human park, and definitely not a place for kids.
