SANTA ANA DOG PARK, CITY OF SANTA ANA DVD <br />8 <br />UNDERSTANDING OF NEED <br />7. Though shade trees will undoubtedly be a part of the design, <br />shade structures should be considered for this exposed site. <br />Shade over the play lot should be required. <br />8. Stormwater management should be contained on site. DVD’s <br />team has included stormwater facilities on a number of dog <br />park layouts, we look forward to sharing our experience and the <br />opportunities we see for this Centennial Park site. <br />9. A small auditorium and dog training area will be a great <br />compliment to the proposed facility. DVD has designed dedicated <br />training areas for dogs at several municipal parks. The dog show <br />auditorium space will be an interesting and novel installation <br />within the overall design. <br />10. Site lighting for use and security will be considered across the <br />whole site. Evening use would be a great opportunity for some <br />exercise in the winter months. <br />11. A site-wide and access signage program will b e a must for this <br />somewhat remote and hidden site. DVD will provide graphic icons <br />that will make these signs attractive and meaningful. <br />12. Amenities for both two legged visitors and their four-legged friends <br />will be vetted though community and stakeholder outreach. <br />Restrooms, benches, tables, drinking fountains, playlot, agility <br />apparatus, the amphitheater, etc. will be incorporate into the <br />design. <br />13. A children’s playlot would be a great off ering for families that <br />come to use the dog park. How about a fi do themed play space <br />with agility components that mimic the dog park elements? <br />14. There are some “outside-the-box” opportunities that the DVD <br />team could considered if the city staff is open to a broader project <br />scope, how about: <br />a. Providing access to the dog park site from the gate to the <br />reservation center or through the materials yard then west to <br />the designated site. <br />b. What if the turf/dirt soccer fi eld adjacent to the lake was <br />swapped with the dog park site, this may be an interesting <br />alternative to explore? <br />c. Could the soccer restroom be used by the dog park contingent <br />to save on improvement costs? <br />d. Could the materials yard be swapped for the designated site? <br />The dog park would be closer to already available parking. <br />e. Could the amphitheater and maybe a stage area be used for <br />special events besides dog shows, how about dog themed <br />movie night? Dog parades on Halloween or other holidays?
