TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER 1 p(
DATE: MARCH 9, 2021
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON GARVEY PARK DOG PARK & FOUNDER'S PARK
SUMMARY
This item is to provide the City Council a progress update for the proposed.Dog Park at Garvey
Park and Founder's 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 and
additional park space within the City.
DISCUSSION
Dog Park - 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 has contracted with
David Volz Design Landscape Architecture, Inc. to develop a design and plans for the proposed
dog park. Attachment A is the first draft of the conceptual design. The park will consist of a big
dog area and small dog area separated by a fence. The park will be made of primarily turf and
decomposed granite. A decorative fence will be placed along the existing tennis courts to limit
distraction from the tennis players and dogs. Amenities will consist of three shaded areas,
benches, drinking fountains, dog bag dispensers and a dog wash station.
Founder's Park - Staff has identified a project that will best qualify for this grant opportunity.
The potential project is a portion of the Southern California Edison (SCE) Corridor located
between Mission Drive and Wells Street just west of Walnut Grove. The California Department
of Parks and Recreation has announced the availability of over $395 million in this 4th and final
round of funding of the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program.
This round of funding completes the largest park related grant program in California's history,
with over $1 billion in funding between the Proposition 68 and Proposition 84 Bonds Acts. The
program will award grant funds to agencies whose eligible park and open space projects best
meet the grant requirements. Grant requests can range from $200,000 to $8.5 million, with no
match requirement.
The City of Rosemead submitted an application for round 3 of this funding and, while the project
did not receive funding, the City received feedback from the state on the application and believes
