Dog Park Update 4/6/2009
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.
