D-2
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: MIKI CARPENTER, DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES
DATE: JUNE 5, 2023
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL OF FINAL DOG PARK DESIGN
BACKGROUND:
The development of a dog park in the City has been a topic of discussion intermittently since 2017 and
has remained one of the Parks and Recreation Commission’s long-term goals. This project has not come
to fruition primarily due to budget constraints. With the designation of excess reserves to fund this
project in the FY2022-23 budget, Staff was able to move forward with design. RHA Landscape
Architects-Planner, Inc. was retained to complete this task and worked with staff, Parks and Recreation
Commission members, and the public to put together a design concept, which is now being brought to
City Council for review and approval.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that City Council take the following actions:
1) Approve final concept design; and,
2) Authorize staff to compile a bid package, including plans, specifications, and engineering criteria.
ANALYSIS:
Development of a dog park has been discussed and subsequently has become an established priority of
both the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City Council as far back as at least 2017. The
Community Resources Department working in conjunction with the Public Works Department strives to
provide enriching opportunities and inspiring programs that meet the needs of all Azusa residents. To
that end, RHA Landscape Architects-Planners, Inc. was retained to prepare a dog park design concept
based on the input of Staff, Council members, Commission members and hundreds of members of the
public.
The design concept of the approximate 60,355 square foot Dog Park includes:
•Perimeter fence with custom dog and train silhouettes

• Entry monument sign
• Individual dog park gates separating small from large
• Decorative paving design
• Seating
• Hydration station
• Dog waste dispenser
• Trash receptacles
• Restroom building utilities (the building itself will be constructed at a later date as part of
another phase; this phase brings the utilities to the site during the initial construction phase)
Due to the cost of construction and amenities, the current design exceeds the budget of $750,000.
Additional undesignated reserves will need to be committed once bid packages are received and a
contractor is selected to complete the work. Several additional desirable amenities have been identified
and future phases will strive to incorporate these into the overall concept.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no immediate fiscal impact associated with the approval of the design, authorization of plans, or
release of the bid package.
