Dog park still community priority

0

NMS_4367According to Michael Klitzing, assistant director of Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation, a proposed dog park originally discussed in June of last year is now slated for completion next year.

Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation is finalizing the Central Park North Campus Master Plan, according to Klitzing. The master plan will guide the future development of approximately 25 acres of Central Park located along 116th street, a portion of which will include the proposed dog park.

The process of creating the plan began in August of last year and has incorporated information gathered from a series of focus groups including a variety of user groups, Carmel residents and community leaders. In addition, four public meetings were held last year to gauge residents’ interest in the potential uses for the park.

After the anticipated adoption of the plan by the park board next month, Klitzing says that Carmel Clay Parks & Recreation will then be able to establish a specific timeline for the construction of the dog park. While it is possible that the park’s construction could begin this year, Klitzing anticipates that the park will not be completed until 2014.

Construction plans for the dog park were not available at the time of publication due to the ongoing planning process.

Klitzing emphasized that the park was still a priority for the community and one of the desired amenities within the Central Park campus.
