Having looked at the map again it does look as though the dogs and joggers have to share that perimeter path.  I would avoid and jog on the main paths if I were you.  

Many dog walkers just let their dogs off lead on that path and they just poo where they like as they can't be seen.

 

Strange response - the perimeter path is great for jogging (when not too wet). Dog walkers easy to avoid and less of a dog poo issue than most pavements in Southwark. This take is completely different to my experience on the jogging route - which I find to be one of the nicest places to run in the area (plus Dulwich Woods).

I really hope not. When I last ran that path, it was fine. I think most dog walkers in the park are responsible and clean up their mess. 

Most probably do, some don't, especially the ones that walk 5 or 6 or more.  The point is they are off lead in that area, as you know it is quite overgrown, so it is impossible to know sometimes where the dog has pooed.

    • Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here. 
    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
    • I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
