SANTA ANA DOG PARK, CITY OF SANTA ANADVD <br />13 <br />REVELANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />The City of El Monte commissioned David Volz Design to develop plans <br />for an off -leash dog park at Fletcher Park. The one and only half acre <br />dedicated dog area became known at Fetch Park. Through a series of <br />community outreach meetings, the vision, the size, and the access to <br />the Fetch Park space was conceptualized into a full-fl edged dog oasis. <br />The Fetcher Park “normal” park facilities for humans would be updated <br />and all major use areas would remain for the community. The end- <br />of-the-parking-lot location became the entry point for Fetch Park. <br />The dogs could be unloaded from their cars and easily access the <br />small or large dog areas with little interaction with the ongoing sports <br />activities and general park uses. The enclosed spaces, small and <br />large dog areas, have separate double entry gates, some paved and <br />decomposed granite areas and open natural turf. Agility apparatus and <br />learning space for the dogs in both compounds are located just off <br />the main running areas. As there are a number of trees, that remain <br />in place, wood mulch was the preferred “background” fl oor material. <br />For the two-legged users there are great accommodations with <br />benches, shade, and picnic tables. Some nice features at the dog park <br />area included wayfi nding dog bone signs, upgraded fencing and an <br />informational kiosk. This park concept has been embraced by the city <br />leaders and is scheduled to be funded for construction next year. <br />Client: City of El Monte <br />Reference: <br />Alexandra Lopez <br />Director for Parks, <br />Recreation & Community <br />Services <br />(626) 580-2205 <br />alopez@elmonteca.gov <br />Key Elements: <br />• Open lawn space <br />• Dog agility equipment <br />• Entry Monument <br />• New play surfacing <br />• New playground picnic <br />area <br />• All dogs area <br />• Small dogs areas <br />Services provided: <br />• Concept Plan <br />Size: 1.3 acres <br />Start Date: July 2016 <br />Completion Date: Nov 2016 <br />Design Cost: $11,165 <br />Construction Estimate: $1.2 <br />million <br />Staff : <br />David Volz, Gary Vasquez, <br />Paul Cassar
