Preliminary Estimate

All projects include in estimate a 25% contingency based on construction cost.

Strategic Goal:

Engaged, Inclusive Community

Dog parks have become increasingly popular and the master plan survey report shows strong support

for this type of investment. Several other municipalities have similar facilities that help address

existing issues surrounding inappropriate use of other open spaces with off leash dogs. Dog parks

also provide dog owners a way to socialize their dogs, a chance to meet others with similar interests

and a way for their dogs to exercise when so many people have small or no yards at their homes.

Fees could be assessed to offset annual maintenance cost.

Dog Park

Parks & Recreation

To be determined

Construct an off leash dog park facility of approximately 2 - 3 acres that includes separate space for

small dogs and large dogs. The ideal site would include parking, restrooms, small shelters and

electronic controlled gates for access control.

Consideration for site designation must account for limitations with use of flood prone areas,

potential co-location near existing park facilities or include with future park sites to save on some

support infrastructure and land acquisition cost.
