SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - Parents in Pacific Beach are calling on more enforcement at the Crown Point Elementary field.

During school hours the field is only open to elementary students and then opens to the public 30 minutes before and after.

Mariluci Byrnes has a daughter who plays on the field with the Pacific Youth Soccer League. She says many dog owners ignore city signs warning it's a violation to take your dog off-leash and to not pick up after them.

“Just not a good combination when you have kids playing and there’s poop all over the place," said Byrnes.

Byrnes says kids and parents often step in dog poop and she worries an off-leash dog could injure a child.

The field is now in the San Diego Humane Society’s (SDHS) jurisdiction.

An SDHS spokesperson confirms they’ve gotten complaints about the issue, but sometimes other calls involving safety take priority over off-leash dogs. She added that while officers can give citations, they often try first to educate dog owners.

The City tells 10News they are aware of the ongoing problem:
