What are the pros and cons of living next to a park?

depending on where you live the loud kids playing

drug addicts use it as a 'junki pit'

the drunkin teens stuble home from a party at 1 am making a **** load of noise

Cons: loud kids, could turn into a potential hang-out for gang-bangers after sunset depending on what your city is like

Pros (really just applies to the daylight hours): nice place to walk the dog in the mornings, adds more of a community vibe by bringing the neighbors together, could be a good place for kids to play if you have any, and if you ever want to have a BBQ and need the extra space you've always got easy access to it

To Arlanymor: Every park I've ever been to has allowed dogs. You just have to keep them on a leash and pick up after them. That's not that hard.

You basically answered it yourself.

Daytime the park is full of cons... and come night, it's full of pro's.

The dog can take himself for a walk and you can get fined for letting him

Those children are always screaming and yelling when you're trying to sleep in...
