How can I contact Dulwich Park maintenance? Overgrown thistles on jogging path

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.
