Construction is now complete and is in compliance with the <br />contract documents. <br />This project was originally proposed to the City by a local community group known as Four <br />Paws Society because the City had no fenced off -leash dog park. The City's Recreation and <br />Parks Commission determined that such a park would be a benefit to the community and <br />asked the City to add it as a Capital Improvement Program project. During the course of the <br />design, staff updated the various stakeholders, including presentations to the Recreation <br />and Parks Commission, Facilities and Transportation Committee and the Four Paws Society, <br />through its spokesperson. <br />The new park is located on the City's Shoreline Recreation Area south of Marina Park, <br />adjacent to the East Bay Discharge Authority facility and the Tony Lema Golf Course. The <br />area was designated for off -leash dog activities, but was not fenced and had no amenities. <br />The park includes separate small and large dog fenced areas. Shade structures with tables, <br />drinking fountains, benches, picnic tables, and trash receptacles were included. The gravel <br />access roadway was also relocated. <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 11/1/2011 <br />
