STAFF REPORT
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
Date: June 19, 2014
From: Nicole Acquisti, Recreation Supervisor
Subject Dog Off -Leash Update
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Commission review the current update of the Dog Off -Leash Pilot
program.
BACKGROUND
In April 2014, after approval from City Council, the Parks and Recreation Department
launched the Dog Off -Leash Pilot Program at Washington Field and Cuernavaca Field
outfields. The program allows off -leash opportunities from 7:30am-2pm Monday
through Friday during September to May.
DISCUSSION
Since the program began in April, the fields were open for two months (prior to being
closed for the summer months). A month into the program, staff reached out to the
public inviting feedback about the impact of additional hours. Letters were mailed to
residents surrounding Cuernavaca Park, and all patrons on the Dog contact list were
emailed. Additionally, staff reached out to the current users of both fields. The vast
majority of the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Patrons enjoyed being able to
have additional hours to run their dogs and the field users felt there was very little
impact on their regular afternoon usage. Much of the feedback was for additional hours
and locations. There were few comments about people addressing dog users on the
field outside the designated time frame, as well as some feces let on the field.
Overall, the Pilot Program impact has been minimal and the feedback has been
positive.
FISCAL IMPACT
The signs and waste dispensers (and bags) have been purchased and installed, and
have come under budget at about $2000.
