You cite Howe Park as being a place to play fetch with your dog, but the website for the park doesn't mention having an unleashed dog area. You also forgot to mention that dog owners should always keep their dogs on leash unless in an area specifically meant for unleashed dogs -- it's basic consideration and abiding by leash laws.
(Yes, it needs to be said. People ignore signs and leash laws, then claim they "didn't know"!)
