The Edmond Dog Park DOES have a pond. The only difference is that it is gated off, and owners have to open the gate to allow their dogs to swim there. The danger of this pond is that it is not gated on the other side and completely enclosed within the park as is the case at the PAW Park at Hefner Park.
If a dog gets out on the opposite side of the pond, or "around the corner" from where the gated entrance is, a dog can escape the park area and end up who knows where.
I believe dog parks are essential to a dog's social development. Owners must be responsible, however, for their own dogs' behavior.
