This is for preliminary purposes only and does not account for any specific location. <br />DISCUSSION ITEMS FOR COMMISSION FEEDBACK <br />If a dog park is pursued, staff recommend considering the two locations at Silver Point Park. Utilizing one <br />of the existing parks as a space for a dog park would require modifying or eliminating existing amenities <br />at the park, which could reduce existing parking and traffic stress on the local neighborhood streets. <br />Staff do not recommend pursuing a new location as that would result in additional demand and labor <br />for Public Works. <br />Staff request PEC’s recommendation on which site would be best suited for a dog park. <br />NEXT STEPS <br />City Council will receive PEC’s recommendation on a dog park location. The dog park and other park <br />amenities are currently not in the 2026 CIP and would be subject to Council consideration. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Presentation <br />Dog Park Exploration <br />Dog Park Estimate <br />City of Ann Arbor, MI – Recommendations and Guidelines for Dog Park Site Selection, Design, <br />Operations and Maintenance <br />Trust for Public Land – How to build a dog park
