During the Thursday recording of the Voice of San Diego Podcast, San Diego City Council President Joe LaCava dropped some news: “The joint use field at Crown Point Junior Music Academy is going to be closed to the public because of the dogs and the dog owners that have beaten up the field so badly that it is now unplayable and dangerous for the students.”

LaCava predicted more of San Diego Unified’s joint-use fields would close in the future.

“I think the school district is finally going to say ‘Enough is enough. We cant risk the health of our students,’” LaCava said.

Samer Naji, San Diego Unified’s facilities spokesperson, said LaCava is right. The district has decided to keep the public out. Naji said it wasn’t the first to be closed to the public because of dogs.
