Belle Cooledge Park
Comments/Questions
This Park has high hills to walk up. Difficult to use with my bad knee. Also has too much poop not picked up by owners.
Let's use a space already established and planned for a dog park! Parking already here. Common sense.
Very hilly, not enough Senior or disability access.
Belle Cooledge Park is too distant to promote positive foot traffic and community engagement in Curtis Park.
Belle Cooledge appears to be easy to add a small dog park.
Why was Belle Cooledge's existing Dog Park an option?
This Park is not walking distance from my neighborhood!
We go to Belle Cooledge all the time and love it! I am out of tickets, but think adding a small dog park to the existing park is an option.
This is already a Dog Park. Adding small dog park is great, but not an option for issue at hand.
Any reason the small Dog Park can't be added in addition to the creation of another much needed large Dog Park anywhere else?

Neither Curtis option is good!
This is a non-starter as those who live on either side of Curtis Park will never allow a Dog Park to go in.
No Way!
This part of the park is where our family and a bunch of other families play everyday! Please don't pick this location!
Shared space builds community, common ground Sierra 2 share!
I believe may Curtis Park neighbors wuld not accept this chane.
People have 2 dogs - one sixe please do not divide!
No! Ruins the aesthetics of the park. Imposes upon historical district and park views. Eliminates space for concerts and festivals. This is not a natural place where people where people with dogs are congregatimg off leash.
This site will make the usable (non-d.p.) area of Curtis Park further from most residents. Immediately next to several homes. Will force kids and other sto play closer to busy street (Sutterville). Takes away from all the other uses in this area (football, volleyball, picnics, etc.). If a dog park has to go at Cutis Park, it would make sense to have the fenced Dog Park closer to the busy streets, rather than have kids amd others forced south. The "Con" listed for Curtis Park option is actually a Pro. This option is the worst part of C.P. to put a dog park, should go
Wouldn't the area south of the tennis courts be a better option? Next to playground, existing fence on one long side.
Of the 2 Curtis Park closest. #1 is better than #2. Better traffic flow at north en of the Park.
Absolutelt NOT! Takes away prime park space that should be used as Park! Ruins entry way to Curtis Park. People and kids live here. Not near other park amentities and no parking here. City events and sports use this 2 araes. People/residents live here - let's use an existing

Please consider the traffic and lack of parking for Curtis Park choice.
I am NOT in favor of a Dog Park in either location of Curtis Park as there is very limited parking.
I don't feel either location at Curtis Park would be a good idea due to parking and the amount of people that walk and run the track.
Curtis Park South!
Strongly oppose this idea. Curtis Park is a jewel. Please do not fence off part of it. What a waste.

I've been a Curtis Park resident for 25 years. I'm really concerned and strongly oppposed to a Dog Park in this area. We already are impacted by traffic, parking issues, and noise. I've had to call 311 on multiple occasions for vehicles blocking access to homes. I love the park, we have been blessed to have lots of people in our community to have use of Curtis Park. The parks are already impacted we need more green space
No parking available unsafe for traffic, neighbors with children, runners use this park regularly.

No Curtis Park!
This option is not really an option. People who live along Curtis Park will never allow a dog park there.
Curtis Park 2: Area already impacted with walkers, insufficient parking, neighbors may need to get a parking permit program in place.
It is inconceivable to have a dog park next to a playground. I have beeen bit, my daughter has been bit, and another daughter knocked down. This last in Curtis Park, owners are not responsible. Dogs are off leash in Curtis Park everyday.
I live in Curtis Park and have had a dog(s) for the last 21 years. I have walked my dogs around Curtis Park on a leash for more than 2 decades. I have met my neighbors this way and taught my dogs proper leash mannersin the process. I have also utilized Belle Cooledge dog
To City Staff: I am a dog owner in Curtis Park. I walk my dog every day at Curtis Park. I have not been able to vote for no Dog Park. There is no dog park now in Curtis Park. No Dog Park, the existing condition should be evaluated.
Completely opposed to putting a dog park in Curtis Park. It's a beautiful park that gets a lot of use. Fencing it off, brings more trafficand is an
We are appreciative of the options in Curtis Park. We need a park that is walkable in our neighborhood. Land Park does not provide walkable options. Hopefully we can continue to share the space w/ soccer.
Opposed to a dog park in Curtis Park. We cannot give up beautiful space that borders so many houses, so dogs can play.
As a family who lives on Donner way very close to the north end of Curtis Park, I would be incredibly disappointed to see so much open park space used every single day by people with their kids, people playing sports, and people picnicing/relaxing. Taken away by a dog park.
It's nuts to give up an urban green open space for dogs! What the heck? No dog park in Curtis Park! Will impact so many residents houses.
My name is Yvette. I have lived int the Curtis Park area for 13 years. I have had the amazing opportunity to be a dog owner and bring my dog here.

It is not just in outlet for my dog for me as well. I hope we can keep our

Comments/Questions
One of the primary issues with Land Park locations is how isolated they are from affordable areas of town. A centrally located park closer to affordable housing makes way more snese for more roters, who represent the full socioeconomic spectrum.
Land Park 1: A great option! Only 0.9 miles form Sierra 2 Park, closer to S2P than Curtis Park.
Good option closer than south Curtis Park, no children uses.
Parking at the LP seems inadequate. Is there a plan to address this?
Too far from my homes to walk.
Excessive distance to walk with my dog.

Land Park locations do not addres Curtis Park residents needs. No parking, not walksafe. Land Park locations may meet the need of Land Park residents. Dog ownership is high, move that one walkable dog park option is needed.

Land Park anywhere makes sense. Curtis Park seems to have a parking issue and no neighbor support.

Land Park 2: Objectively, the most beautiful location. There can be no cenceivable objections to this. 98% shaded, nature trees!

Great to gain 2 soccer fields for kids. Perfect for dogs - case closed!
I live facing the basin and there has been no info. On the Dog Parks or soccer fields. There's NO parking available for anyone but residents.
Yes, add some trees, grass, and other coverage and this would be a great space. Currently unused ad wasted space.
The land is undevolped and dog owners from Curti Park will have another nearby park to go to.
Are the soccer fields at Eams Park already funded?
If this site is chosen, what is the plan for drainage, water, access, shade, and parking?
Definitely NOT! Not available all year round, too costly to retrofit.
This gives 3 soccer fields. Better location for soccer. No for Dog Park.
No close parking. No water for people or pups. Steep ramp - hard on my bum knee.
Good 2nd option, but flooded 1-2 months per year. Land Park sites open year round.
Meets the needs for dog owners and soccer players of various ages.

Sierra 2: by far my preferred solution. We've been coming to S2 for years and it is a very special and appreciated dog location. We used it 4- 6 times a week. We miss it terribly as the time (temp) replacement area is wholly terrible!
To take away a soccer field, family area, and green area in an established neighborhood, close to homes, does not make sense, and is not a viable long term solution, it is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Unfortunate that you did not provide option of continued shared use at Sierra II as former Land Park soccer coach who used this as home game field for years. I'd hate to lose the soccer field But I think it would have been fine to continue historic shared use. With soccer having

It seems that we are going to lose off-leash dog activity. At Sierra - can the park be enhanced to include pickleball and bocce to accommodate the many older people who live in Curtis Park.
I would like shared space at Sierra 2 with good space planning and fencing, I'm sure this could be accomplished.
Gate one end and keep Sierra Curtis Park as one entity.
Please don't fix what was NOT broken, common ground, one park!
Not only is Sieera 2 my 1st choice, but it should be reverted back to how it was used the last 25 years!
This should be put back to how it was. Will keep grass growing and can keep soccer. If no soccer this is still my 1st choice.
Sierra II has been a great community resource and one of the reasons I moved to the neighborhood. We walked there everyday to take our dog and felt stronger connections to our community. The temporary facility has not been ideal and would look forward to seeing a
Where is the soccer field? All should be included.
Soccer field? We want to be inclusive.

The Sierra 2 green should not be designated as a dog-only park, but it should function as it has for many years (30+), as a mixed-use space for kids, clubs/organizaed soccer, dogs, and families. Dof off-leash hours used to be from dawn to 9am, and from 5pm to dusk. The rest of the day being devoted tp kids, people only activities. This worked for many years before the pandemic when people flooded to outdoor spaces and many got dogs for the first time. A vocal minority is making it seem like it has to be one way or another, but there is room for cooperation. There are many residents who have both dogs and kids. Are they supposed to separate their families by a fence when they go

The dog area can still exist with a soccer field. It worked well for about 20 years.
We would love to have a community garden near here too. Sierra 2 has a nice space next to the kids playground.
This option is the most accesible to Curtis Park residents. The people who want this option are willing to collaborate with other interests for shared use. This space has build community and gets use.
Where is soccer field? We would like to share Siera 2 with everyone who uses it.

Worst option, don't take soccer field, too many house, takes away neighborhood park.
Dog Park and soccer field needed combined use. Making this a Dog Park would ruin this park as a neighborhood park. Don't let a vocal few get your Goat, can't please everyone! We need this soccer field!
We need more than one Dog Park. Sierra 2 looses a soccer field. Put a Dog Park somewhere else, no fences. We prefer no fences, why not designate source of the options presented today as off-leash and unfenced? Please look into that especially near trafficed roads!
Not necessary to divide Sierra 2 into large and small dog areas. Our large and small dogs have been happily co=existing for a long time!
One choice? Dog park or Soccer? That's NONSENSE! Shared, common ground is what I want!
Why only 1 option for Sierra 2? Let's respond to the community where 75% want a dog park. It doesn't have to be at the expense of soccer.

Sierra 2 is a wonderful neighborhood park! It is at it's best when we can all share it together! Kids, sports, dogs! Please consider a shared space. A second dog park in Land Park would help to eliviate crowding.
I really appreciate how the legacy model at Sierra II Green brought so many people from Curtis Park together. I'm disappointed my best option is somewhat win/lose with loss of much of the soccer pitch, but the green remains the best option for families w/ dogs.
The city made zero effort to work w/ the local groups to make these changes. The shared space worked for years. No parking available for full time sports or full time Dog Park. The money spent by the city for sports to happen before a vote was done is very telling! we want it to

As a person who owns a home directly acrossnthe street from Sierra 2, I find it frustrating that people who do not live in our neighborhood are allowed to have a say in the use of our park. Our homes and daily lives are the ones affected, not the people who live elesewhere.

At Sierra 2 there were once soccer games on Saturdays, and the park was used as a dog park when soccer games were not in progress. It worked to the satisfaction of all. Let's go back to that. The days when soccer games were played at Sierra 2, the grounds were well maintained. That stopped during Covid, when the games stopped. Which was given the impression that the Dogs are the problem.
We love Sierra II Dog Park as it was. We have been coming for 12 years. We ask that we go back to it's original dog training facility. Thank you

Sierra 2 option please, but let's get rid of special dog fencing, keep the space available for human recreation, and limit dog off leash training times to morning and evening on days when other events are not planned.
The temporary Sierra Dog area was a good solution at first, but over a few months it became clear that it was simply too small to provide a healthy space for dogs. Ideally we would use the entire green for shared purpose, including an off leash dog park.
The Sierra 2 option: Why is there no option to have the park return to where it was before? As a shared space instead of what you propose. Will you consider adding this as an option? Thank you! "Christina"
As a 25 year resident of Curtis Park, I am concerned that converting all of Sierra 2 Green into a dog park and create a dustbowl/wasteland of dirt and dust like parts of Belle Cooledge, no more egg hunts on the Green or children playing.
