Description
The south gate to the Dover St Park is broken and it opens sideways. It is very difficult to both open and close the gate, especially for parents with strollers as well as people with disabilities.
This gate is extremely large (possibly designed for vehicles) but is primarily used by pedestrians. If possible please install a smaller, pedestrian friendly entrance.

This gate opens only a little bit. This is the closest gate to my house, but I often pass it up because when I'm carrying baby on my hip and usually a bag with our lunches and park blanket in the other hand and a backpack/diaperbag on back...I'm too big to comfortably get through with all my kid stuff.
Baby is also a fan of trying to exit and this gate doesn't shut easily.
Lastly, in October I fell on the sidewalk outside the park, onto my baby. Several nannies and parkgoers came rushing to our aid, but my friend who was unfamiliar with the park and the funky gate situation was one of the last to get to us because she got hung up over there.
