6.Use at your own risk. Owners are responsible and liable for the actions and behavior <br />of their dogs at all times. <br />7.Users are limited to three dogs per visit. <br />8.It is recommended that children be supervised by a parent or guardian. <br />9.Dogs must be on leash unless in Off Leash Dog Area boundaries. <br />10.All other City park rules apply. <br />Season–Hours of Operation <br />stst <br />Suggested Season: May 1–November 1. <br />Suggested Hours: 30 minutes before sunrise until 30 minutes after sunset <br />Maintenance-Labor-Cost <br />Maintenance: Staff currently does garbage runs one to two times a week, depending on the time <br />of year. The Public Works staff would need to increase garbage pick up to 3-5 times per week, <br />depending on popularity. <br />Signage: Rule/Hours of Operation Signage –Estimated at $100 <br />Gated Entrance (Staging Area): The PTRC feels it is important for helping manage the <br />transition into the open dog area, to have a staging area. This would be a gated area where <br />dogs would be taken into, unleashed and then the gate for the hockey rink would be opened for <br />the dog to enter. It will keep dogs from escaping out of the main area when dogs are entering <br />and exiting. Staff recommends utilizing a 5 x 13 fenced area (with two gates) that would be a <br />temporary enclosure that would be disassembled at the end of the season. We estimate this <br />enclosure to be $800, not including the staff time to install. <br />Mulch or pea gravel may need to be considered for areas to avoid muddy areas. We estimate <br />that if mulch is needed, it will be $10-$12 per cubic yard. The Hazelnut Park rink soils are <br />primarily sand and it historically drains well. <br />Input –Surrounding Areas <br />Staff and subcommittee members called surrounding areas to inquire how dog parks have <br />worked for them. The overwhelming response from all of the communities was very positive. <br />They all stated that the larger the area, the more use it received. Not only was it positive for the <br />dogs but it also serves as a great way for the citizens to interact with each other, stay within the <br />community and enjoy the outdoors. <br />We inquired about the type of facilities and areasthey had, what maintenance and other costs <br />were involved in establishing and maintaining the off leash are, what complaints or issues the <br />City had to deal with (dog barking, aggressive dogs, parking, lighting, dog clean up or any other <br />type of complaint),liability issues and feedback from the community. <br />The following is a summary of responses received: <br />37 <br />Page of <br />
