Arcata Dog Park
YOUR DOG WILL WANT TO BE THERE.
The park is being proposed to be located on seven acres at the south end of the Little Lake Property. It would include the following:
-
It would be fenced (6’), and we are asking for 7 acres to include parking, extension of the Arcata Marsh trail, and potentially a separate fenced agility space.
-
It would include clear, large signage with rules and regulations
-
The surfaces would be decomposed granite, grass, sand, or wood chip or some combination
-
The park would have a large (3 acres) and small (2 acre) fenced area, each with the following:
-
Two-gate entrances for safety
-
Self-filling water stations for the dogs
-
Dispensers with bags for dog waste disposal
-
Trash cans
-
-
We propose the following optional, but desired features:
-
Benches for owners
-
Sheltered area for owners in case of rain
-
Toilet facilities for dog owners
-
