The city is turning Perry Park, located off Ferry Road near Highway 16, into a fenced dog park.

A fenced dog park in College Heights has been a success, council heard Wednesday night. And that means a second one is warranted.

Southridge Park opened in June and is operated as part of the People, Pets and Parks Off Leash Program.

A second facility is planned for Perry Park, which had what council was told were underutilized and non-CSA-compliant playground equipment. That equipment has since been removed. The park is located between Ferry Avenue and Wilson Crescent near Van Bien Elementary School.

Work to turn Perry Park into a fenced dog park is underway and should be done by November, city staff reported to council.
