What's That Smell in Ridgefield?

At least one Ridgefield resident has a strongly worded message after witnessing a strong odor in two specific spots in town.


It seems that Man's Best Friend may be Man's Smelliest Friend.

Reader Irene B posted a Ridgefield Patch announcement requesting that those who go to Ballard Park and the Mar-Joy Pond trail remember to clean up after their dogs.

"... There are areas beginning to smell like a kennel," she wrote. "Mar-Joy is particularly offensive. Could everyone please be a responsible citizen and bring a bag?"

Have you encountered this issue at Ballard Park, the Mar-Joy Pond Trail or another location around town?
