Ramsey County Parks and Recreation–Jody Yungers <br />Much needed in the Ramsey County area.We have 4 in our system and if you <br />o <br />build them, they will come..... they are over used..... We need more in our system <br />at large. <br />Take maintenance as needed -at least 2 -3 times per week trash/poop barrel pick <br />o <br />up. <br />Depending on the design (how natural vs. manicured) they do require annual <br />o <br />woodchips, etc.... <br />Developed a "dog guardian program" designed to have user group participation as <br />o <br />the eyes and ears of the users. We could not manage the high use or maintenance <br />without the engagement of our users. For more information on the program: <br />https://parks.co.ramsey.mn.us/parks/Pages/Off-Leash-Dog-Area.aspx <br />Shoreview Parks and Recreation–Gary Chapman, Building and Grounds Superintendent <br />Have done it for two years, going on third year and it will be hard to stop since it <br />o <br />is very popular. <br />Provide plastic containers that hold bags for the people to clean up after their <br />o <br />dogs. There is also a deposit chamber for people to drop those bags once they <br />are used. <br />Spend about $ 250.00 a yearon bags, people tend to take more than they need. <br />o <br />The deposit chamber is checked when we do trash rounds in our parks so it <br />o <br />would be hard to separate out the monthly cost. They are cleaned out by part <br />time summer help most of the time. <br />Dog owners havebeen very good at picking up and they get on anyone not <br />o <br />picking up after their dogs. <br />Were surprised how popular they were in the beginning and how it is brought up <br />o <br />every spring if we are going to do it again. We thought that this would be a big <br />head achewhen we started it, but we found out that it isn't as bad as we thought. <br />Just be aware that once you start it, you may not be able to stop. <br />City of Eden Prairie –Jay Lotthammer, Parks and Recreation Director <br />Have received positive comments from the community. <br />o <br />Have two larger sites and a number of hockey rinks. <br />o <br />Near Three Rivers District, which has a larger regional park with a dog area. <br />o <br />90% of the use is by the two larger sites. The hockey rinks receive far less use as <br />o <br />dog owners prefer the larger areas. They have tried to have separate areas for <br />smaller dogs and larger dogs but NOT in the hockey rink. The hockey rinks are <br />not big enough to have separate areas. <br />Have single gates for the hockey rinks. <br />o <br />The hockey rinks have pea gravel instead of grass, which helps reduce the mud. <br />o <br />Mud is an issue for the owners and the City for maintenance. Wood chips or pea <br />gravel by the entrance areas is recommended. <br />No water at hockey rinks. <br />o <br />Self cleaning and no bags are provided. <br />o <br />Mail box is provided by City and owners bring extra bags to share. <br />o <br />The City has dog licensing and permits required. <br />o <br />47 <br />Page of <br />
