Dog Park
Introduction
In 1996,pets are considered to be one of the fastest growing areas for entertainment in America. The
emergence of pet"super" stores now highlights retail growth indicating that not only do more people own
pets,but they are spending sizable dollars to give their pets the very best care and treatment. In the age of
doggie day care,dog vacation camps,dog obstacle courses, and super pet stores where"pets are always
welcome,"we think it is time to address the idea of a dog park.
Historically, local ordinances have excluded dogs from public spaces for a variety of safety and use
reasons. However,this standard practice is shifting to one of understanding that pets and their owners
can safely and equitably coexist in public park spaces.
Choosing a Site
It is recommended that the dog park be located away from residential areas due to the noise such parks
create. Trees and shrubbery around the fence can be planted to provide a noise buffer,if necessary.
Between one and five acres of land is the ideal size for a dog park,although existing dog parks vary in
size from one half acre to seventy 70 acres. Parks smaller than one acre have experienced overcrowding
problems,while large parks are sometimes hard to control.
As with any park facility,the ground should have good drainage. Most visitors will be transporting their
dogs by car so it is important that the dogs will not be running in muddy conditions. The entire park must
be enclosed with a 6 foot fence with self closing gates with springs. This ensures that dogs will not escape
and endanger themselves or any people in the area.
The targeted area is 120x1000 feet and is owned by the county. The land is located on the corner of
Livingston Road and Immokalee Road. After conversations with real property and OCPM,it seems that
the land can be made available.
Equipment
Dog parks find it convenient to require that dog owners clean up after their pets. The most effective way
to facilitate this form of self maintenance is to provide the necessary clean-up tools on site. Also
providing water fountains for human and"fido fountains"for the dogs enhances the experience for
everyone.
Play equipment specifically designed for dogs and their owners are optional amenities for the park.
Plastic dog-size tubes, hurdles,hanging tires and Frisbee courses are a few of the play equipment available
for dogs.
Signs posting hours and rules should be placed at the dog park to ensure that peer pressure help influence
proper use of the area.
Admittance
While most dog parks have an open admission policy,there are a few that charge an entrance fee.
Entrance fees cover maintenance costs. An admission policy has its benefits. In charging a fee, certain
requirements can be made to implement more effective safety control over the dog park. For example, in
order to purchase a season pass,the park may require that the dog be up to date on its vaccines;have
completed an obedience course;and/or have a verification form from a veterinarian of no previous record
of vicious behavior. A drawback to charging an admittance fee is that it becomes necessary to have
someone monitor the site.
1
Literature and Programming
A dog park is a good place to disseminate material regarding veterinary care,vaccine information,and
neutering and spaying concerns. It is also necessary to post or provide handouts with cautionary
information. Dog owners should especially be aware of the park's liability policy. Dog parks have been
used for obedience classes, contests and other dog-featured activities.
Maintaining a Dog Park
Dog parks are relatively low maintenance. Trash containers,mowing, patching of worn areas and clean-
up rounds to remove waste are the regular maintenance concerns. It is also recommended that the
fencing, tree trunks and other equipment be hosed down to prevent urine stains and odors. Treating the
ground with a flea control mechanism will help eliminate canine parasites.
Cost to Construct
With the use of county owned land the construction cost is estimated at:
Landscaping $ 5,000
Irrigation 3,000
Fencing 120x1000 ft 25,000
Parking 10,000
Water Fountain 500
Mutt Mitts 200
Total $43,700
Funding
Funding options for the park include pet stores,veterinary clinics,pet product companies and kennel clubs
as fund sources to supplement county dollars.
Liability Concerns
The first issue that comes to mind when envisioning an area where dogs play, is the possibility of a dog
fight. In fact, in not one of twenty parks surveyed has a park experienced any incidence resulting in a
libel suit. Part of the reason suggested for why dog fights have not occurred,even in dog parks that been
functioning for over twenty years, is that dogs consider the park to be neutral territory.
Neither have there been any incidents involving dog attacking humans in the dog parks. One explanation
is that dog parks tend to attack the kind of responsible patron that has trained and socialized his or her
pet.
Florida has a"Dog-Bite Statutes"that automatically makes the dog owner legally liable for any injury or
damage that their dog causes. Overall, many park officials who were initially hesitant about liability
problems have been pleasantly surprised to find that dog's off-leash pose little threat to park safety. In a
1990 study concerning liability problems of Palo Alto's city park reported the following ...the facts are
that 80 dogs visit per day in Palo Alto--almost half a million since 1974--have not produced a single
liability claim,while the city's swing sets account for about 168 cases annually."
