City of St. Louis Park –Rick Beane, Parks Department Superintendent <br />The City has had dog parks for eight years and it has been very positive. <br />o <br />They have two areas -one is a large ball field and the other is a more wooded <br />o <br />area. <br />They have had parking issues and occasional dog barking issues. It is not <br />o <br />significant –average two complaints a year –no comparison to the positive <br />comments. <br />They do not supply water. Owners bring their own. <br />o <br />They do not supply bags. Although, they have a mail box and people bring their <br />o <br />own bags and provide additional bags for others. The City picks up garbage from <br />the containers regularly and will put down wood mulch as needed. Occasionally, <br />the gate needs repair. <br />One park has a LED light which timers out at 40 minute intervals but will go on <br />o <br />after a certain time of the night. <br />They tried a big dog/little dog area, which created some conflict for the big dog <br />o <br />owners. They solved this by creating the same areas but called it a small, frail <br />and/or timid dog area and did not restrict it to a size. People then will use their <br />judgment as to which area is best for their dog. <br />The areas are self cleaning and no supplies are provided, except for the mail box. <br />o <br />They have had incidents where owners have gotten mad at each other and sued <br />o <br />each other. However, they did not include the City as the signs are clearly <br />marked that the City is not responsible. <br />The City has dog licensing and permits required. <br />o <br />City of Lauderdale <br />They have one dog area –larger area –not a hockey rink. <br />o <br />Regularly used and positive. <br />o <br />The groups that pushed for the dog area have not followed through in helping <br />o <br />with maintaining it. <br />They do not provide water. <br />o <br />They do not provide bags. They have a mail box. <br />o <br />They receive minimal complaints, average one to two per year. Generally the <br />o <br />complaints are that it is muddy. <br />City of Edina -Susan Faus, Assistant Park Director <br />One large off leash dog park that is part of a larger park with 3 ball fields. This <br />o <br />area has ample parking, concession stand and rest rooms with running water. <br />Very popular for people to use dog area and be near kids activities.City does <br />minimal maintenance. Few complaints but park is not directly in a neighborhood. <br />th <br />On May 14, the City added an off leash area to one of neighborhood parks. <br />o <br />They will add a single gate. It has some parking and lighting but the ideas is to <br />provide this area mostly for the neighborhood. <br />No lights will be activated in the smaller area. <br />o <br />Hours will be 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. <br />o <br />Previously provided bags but it was very expensive, $15,000-$20,000 a year. <br />o <br />57 <br />Page of <br />
