Heritage Park Dog Park

The Heritage Park East location has more than adequate land to meet the Town’s needs for a Dog Park. This site is connected to the Town’s Trails System, utilities are conveniently located to the site, and it can accommodate a facility that offers 3 acres for large breed dogs and 2 acres for small breed dogs. Additionally, the site has existing natural shade that can be incorporated into the design.

Status:
The design for the Dog Park was approved by Council on June 2nd. The consultant is Schrickel Rollins Inc. presented 3 different types of Parks to Council as requested on September 15. The selection was Standard Option (Full Size) - This option includes developing the entire acreage for both the large and small dogs. Project elements include: full parking, black vinyl chain link fence with concrete mow strips, Hybrid Bermuda, irrigation, standard information signage, minimal landscaping, conduit for future lighting in parking lot and Dog Park.

The Project:
The Parks and Trails Master Plan (PTMP) identified 13 Outdoor Priorities most requested by the citizens of Flower Mound during the 2009 Citizens Survey. The Off-Leash Dog Park was the 4th most requested specific outdoor priority. See page 156 of the PTMP.

Staff and the PALS Board recommended that Town Council consider Heritage Park East as the most viable location for the dog park for the following reasons:
a) This site was recommended by the Parks and Trails Master Plan, the PALS Board and the Dog Park Subcommittee
b) Funding is available to construct the Dog Park in this location
c) The location is convenient to most of Flower Mound’s residents
d) There are no adjacent neighborhoods at this time.
e) Both PALS Board and staff have reviewed with Town Council 11 park sites and none have been acceptable to the adjoining neighborhoods.

A 30% plan review is scheduled for mid-October and we anticipate the construction documents will be produced and returned to Town Council for consideration and approval early next year. The project will be advertised for competitive bid.
