SUBJECT: UPDATE ON GARVEY PARK DOG PARK
f.Ylh�iu�:�•1
This item is to provide the City Council a progress update for the proposed Dog Park at Garvey
Park. At the direction of the City Council and as a part of the Rosemead 2016-2018 Strategic
Plan, staff was asked to evaluate the development of a dog park. Staff identified a portion of
Garvey Park as the project location. A grant application was submitted to the California State
Parks Department. In October of 2019, staff was notified that the grant application was awarded.
Staff received the fully executed contract from the State on January 21, 2020.
The designated area is at the west side of Garvey Park around the tennis courts which are located
just north of the parking lot on Emerson Place. The City is responsible for matching 50% of the
total cost of the project. The State's portion cannot exceed $290,375. The total project amount
is $580,750. The project must be closed out by June 30, 2022 per State requirements.
Staff has reviewed a design proposal from a local landscape architect and park planning
company and plan to enter into a service agreement. The design period will take roughly two
months. Once an initial design has been developed, staff will present the design to the Parks
Commission before presenting to the City Council at a future meeting.
The dog park will be a fenced area and feature a separate area for small and large dogs. The park
will also include a shaded area that will cover a portion of each dog area as well as play
amenities and water features.
