• Other Key Facts:
A brief update on the permanent dog park installation at Luke McRedmond Park.
OUTCOMES:
The Pop-Up Dog Parks were implemented to meet growing community needs. This amenity was identified in the 2017 and 2022 PARCC Plans, which were prioritized in the 2023-2024 budget. Significant community input was gathered through surveys at Derby Days, questionnaires at Let’s Connect page for dog parks, and through staff interactions with community members. For the 2025-2026 budget, a permanent dog park was prioritized. Pop-up dog parks will be installed again at Luke McRedmond Park and at Hartman Park for 2025, to serve the community while in the design phase for the permanent dog park. The permanent installation is planned for 2026.
COMMUNITY/STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH AND INVOLVEMENT:
• Timeline (previous or planned):
2017-2015
• Outreach Methods and Results:
Information gathered from the 2017 PARCC Plan, the 2022 PARCC Plan update, surveys at Derby Days, and questionnaires at the Let’s Connect pop-up dog park webpage.
• Feedback Summary:
The feedback was supportive and identified the downtown core being an area with highest needs. The public is anticipating a permanent dog park amenity, and the pop-up will serve that need during the design phase. A permanent amenity will be installed in 2026.
