Recommendations and Guidelines for Dog Park Site Selection, Design, Operations and Maintenance <br /> <br />Page 23 <br /> Do not want a dog park in West Park. <br /> Focus on one park vs. many parks. <br /> Illegal gatherings. <br /> Dog park licenses – online instead of having to come down to City Hall. <br /> Remedy current dog park issues and learn from it. <br />Location: <br /> Is there something that can be a walkable amenity from downtown? <br /> It will never be walkable for everyone. <br /> Look at the process in other communities – What is the best distance from houses? What is the minimum <br />size? People are interested in what makes a good location. <br /> What parameters should we consider for a downtown park? <br /> Identify dead spaces, other spaces that are not parks. <br /> What about newly acquiring areas for dog parks? <br /> Consider spaces that are not currently used as parks. Are there empty lots downtown or parking lots <br />that could be used as part time dog runs? <br /> Will the city acquire new property for a dog park to avoid existing use conflicts in existing parks? <br /> Be clear about centrally located dog park. <br /> The question of dog park locations needing to be no more than 2 miles away makes me ask “away <br />from whom?? The people who would like Wurster Park would not be willing to walk to the North Main <br />City property, but folks closer to that spot would. How will you resolve that? <br /> Why not remodel or use space not currently a park? <br /> What properties have you looked at and eliminated – non-City owned. <br />Other: <br /> Excited to have a dog park. <br /> How do we hear what cities like Baltimore are doing? <br /> Timeline – when do we expect to arrive at a conclusion? <br /> Park fee with dog licensing fee <br /> <br /> <br />
