Dog parks are by far one of the leading features on the wish list of municipal and community parks. Dog parks can be wonderful additions to a community, whether as an inclusion to an existing community park or as a stand-alone, dog specific park. People who are thinking about building a dog park should be aware that there are many pitfalls to be encountered along the way. Although important and necessary components, building a dog park is not just about the business plan or the architectural illustrations. It is not just about that perfect parcel of land you want to use, the type of fencing you will install or the unique sign you want to place at the entrance. Before you do anything, learn about your market, learn dogs and the people who own them.
Size It Up: The size of your park may depend solely on the availability of land. It is recommended at least 1 acre but they can be as big as your community can manage and maintain. If space isn’t an issue, consider an area large enough that it’s possible to rotate high traffic areas annually or even seasonally.
Pack It In: Consider how your community will use the park. Remember that people need to enjoy the park too! It’s important to plan for seating and shade so everyone stays comfortable when they visit your park. Don’t stop there! Do you want to include room for agility equipment, a sand box, pond or fountain, climbing wall, walking trails or anything else you can think of that your community and its dogs would love? A community meeting can help determine what’s feasible and preferred by the future park patrons.
Water, Water Everywhere: Consider a water source for humans and dogs as well as a dog rinsing station. On especially muddy days, being able to rinse your dog off to keep cars from getting the full dog park experience can make a nicer day for everyone.
Plan For Clean Up: To help keep your dog park pleasant and as clean as possible, place waste stations and trash receptacles a decent distance apart (approximately 4 per acre depending on the layout). Ensure the park is easily accessible for landscaping crews so it’s simple to keep your park lush and neat.
Show Your Spirit: Remember that designing your dog park extends to the spirit of the park. One key way to do this is to set the stage for responsible pet-ownership and behavior in the dog park by developing and posting park rules. Some sample rules may include:
Dogs must be properly vaccinated and it is recommended that they be spayed or neutered.
Puppies under 4 months of age and female dogs in heat are prohibited.
Do not bring dog food into the dog park.
Owners must clean up after their dogs.
Dogs with a known history of aggressive behavior are prohibited.
Dogs must wear a collar with identification at all times.
Dogs must be leashed when entering and leaving the park.
Leaving dogs unattended is prohibited.
Children under the age of 16 must be supervised by a parent or guardian.
Maximum of 3 dogs per person, per visit.
Watch for dogs on the other side of the entry gate when entering or leaving to prevent escapes.
