On Saturday a reader sent in the following note about the latest egging incident at the dog run underneath the Novo condo: “I was at the Park Slope Dog Run in Washington Park this evening at 7.45pm, and an egg was once again thrown from the condo, and almost hit my husband…My dog barked at the other dog, as dogs do, and suddenly an egg came from the sky landing on the ground next to my husband. He’s sure that if it had hit him, he would have been hurt. I live opposite the school neighbouring the dog park. I have kids screaming outside my apartment most of the time. I moved there, I cannot complain about noise in the neighbourhood…” As it turns out, the reader was well within her rights to be using the dog run at 7:45: We incorrectly reported in the past that the run closes at sundown (because that’s what the Parks Dept. posters inside of it say) but, according to Kim Maier, the executive director of the park’s Old Stone House, the run was actually built to be accessible 24 hours a day even though the official closing time of the park as a whole is 10 p.m. (Yes, it’s confusing.) Maier also says that the Novo’s board and the precinct have been notified about the latest egging. Perhaps Park Slope’s crazed egg chucker will soon be brought to justice…

  1. I dont buy the story – but if its true then the thrower is very impressive. To be able to accuratly (and consistently) be able to hit the dog run with an egg from the Novo is actually amazing….look for a professional dart player in the novo and you probably have the culprit

  2. Umm… am I wrong, but let’s say you brought your dog there at, say, 2:00 in the morning. You’re probably the only one there. How much noise are you making? Probably almost NONE.

    I don’t get what the egging is all about. There’s probably more dog barking INSIDE (if they allow pets) than outside. I’ve never heard that much barking at a dog park. Just a bit o’ stank.

    FFS can’t they find a spot over by the Gowanus canal or something in the industrial wasteland one block over?

    the dogs were there first tho… before the condo owners. i think they just need to suck it and suck it hard.
