Latest Activity
Grading has been completed and fence posts were installed on June 12, 2010. Fencing mesh will be installed on June 19.
Coordination with the Coeur d’Alene Parks and Recreation Department has led to ground breaking and commencement of construction of the first dog park for Coeur d’Alene and Kootenai County, Idaho as of late May, 2010. This follows completion of our initial funding drive in which, thankfully, we’ve gone over the top. The new dog park site is located adjacent to Northshire Park in Coeur d’Alene at Atlas Road and Nez Perce Drive.
Under the construction schedule now in place, it’s anticipated that we’ll have a “leash cutting” to open the dog park around Labor Day, 2010.

Everyone was smiling following a recent meeting of members of Kootenai County Dog Park Association and Doug Eastwood of Coeur d’Alene Parks Department. A closer look at requirements to make the future pooch playground safe, comfortable and attractive for canines and humans alike lowered the cost to just over $19,000 plus volunteer labor. The first estimate to create the dog park just north of Northshire Park on property owned by the school district was over $50,000.
Jon Mueller of Architects West has already donated the conceptual plan for the two acre site. And Coeur Group, a community service group of young professionals, has offered to install the fencing. Boy scouts want to help where they can too.
In addition to valuable guidance and labor contacts, the city parks department will provide the chain link fence fabric left-over from a previous project, as well as trees, benches, K-9 waste station dispensers, and about 1,000 lineal feet of wood chips to create the foot path. Some of the needed fence framing parts will be salvaged from the transfer station’s inventory.
Our Wish List
Key items on the dog park wish list include:
• Hydro-seeding: $6,500
• Two 12 ft gates, three 5 ft gates, miscellaneous fence parts: $3,800
• Irrigation components and labor to install: $3,766
• Four dog waste receptacles: $2,000
• Concrete for walkway and turn-around: $1,000
• Signage: $1,000 (Pledge Received)
• Two K-9 water fountains: $400 (Pledge Received)
• Site surveying and earth moving equipment operators
With the park now within reach, people eager to use the off leash park have been donating cash and the all volunteer task force is asking for more help in acquiring the items on the wish list. All donations to the dog park are tax deductible because the project is being created under the 501(c)(3) charity status of Coeur d’Alene Parks Foundation.

Things are moving along rapidly to bring an off leash dog park for Kootenai County to reality. Here is a brief summary of the latest developments:
1. Site Location: A site has been identified and is supported by Doug Eastwood, Coeur d’Alene Parks Department Director. It’s located just adjacent to Northshire Park at Atlas Road and Nez Perce in Coeur d’Alene.
2. Meetings with City: There have been two sessions with Doug Eastwood and John Mueller (Architects West) in which a proposed layout of the dog park has been tentatively agreed upon. It will consist of two acres, completely fenced with a double gate for entry and exit.
3. City Approval Process: The process to obtain approval from the City of Coeur d’Alene is beginning on April 7, 2009 with a workshop with the Parks and Recreation Board. All who are interested will receive a schedule of public hearings, and we will be asking for maximum attendance and support.
4. Tax Exempt Donations: The Coeur d’Alene Parks Foundation has approved bringing the Kootenai Dog Park Association under it’s umbrella for receiving tax exempt donation for installation and maintenance of the dog park. Please make your donations as instructed on our Donations Page.
Please check this site for further updates as they unfold. Thank you for your support.
