Most comments suggest or support entire park being a dog park. Many consider the prairie portion a dog park already.

Increased overstory trees throughout park area

Expansion of off leash dog area to include entire property

Mostly supportive of sectioned dog areas, but more for shy/quiet dogs versus playful dogs, not by size

Separation of park into two areas by dog temperment

Some support for agility area Some agility equipment included within park

Desire for water and shade New group gathering/shade shelter serving both dog areas, with water available

Mixed opinions of parking, some do not want park space lost for parking, others think it would be a good idea

No parking included in this park, but enhanced entry from street with accessibility improvements
