In the fall of 2020, we reached out to the community for feedback about our dog off-leash parks. In 2018, Hammond Dog Off-Leash area was developed under the Golden Ears Bridge and in 2020 a new urban dog park was developed in Beckett Park at 11683 223 St.
An online survey was conducted through social media channels. Over the course of the comment period, over 330 people replied. The feedback we received will be used to inform our decisions on dog park maintenance and future dog park developments.
