ITEM NUMBER: __________
ROSEMEAD
PARKS COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT
TO: ROSEMEAD PARKS COMMISSION
FROM: JASON CHACON, DIRECTOR OF PARKS & RECREATION
DATE: OCTOBER 3, 2017
SUBJECT: DOG PARK UPDATE
SUMMARY
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. Parks & recreation
department staff has been working with the public works department and the community
development department to identify possible dog park locations.
With the opening of our new public works yard on Rivera Rd., a portion of the west side
of Garvey Park (see attachment) has become available and is the most project ready
location. City staff is currently working to find available grant funding and will then
proceed with preliminary designs.
Once grant funding approval has been received from the City Council, staff will work
with the Parks Commission to discuss layout and amenities that are within budgetary
guidelines.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Receive dog park update from staff.
FISCAL IMPACT
City staff has a preliminary projected cost of $395,000 for the dog park and is seeking
available grant funding for the project.
STRATEGIC PLAN IMPACT
The project would meet Strategy 4, Action Item B: “Evaluate the development of a dog
park”.
