For updates on the Southwood Dog Park Committee please check Community Concerns>Dog Park Committee The full report can be downloaded as a pdf here: SDPC-Report-20100304.pdf Executive Summary In 1987, The City of Calgary passed legislation allowing for off-leash dog parks in Calgary. The community of Southwood has a number of these parks. These parks do not have official names, and are referred to by geographical location by The City of Calgary. The Southwood Dog Park Committee (SDPC) has been created to research the number of outstanding concerns with the Southdale Off-Leash dog park and to provide the Southwood Community Association with a viable solution. The SDPC has identified several issues that are impacting the Southdale Off-Leash dog park. The SDPC focus is on making the Southdale Off-Leash dog park a better place and an improved community asset for all the residents of Southwood to enjoy. At this time the SDPC does not recommend a redesignation of the park. Since the SDPC recommendations require a limited time commitment and low cost, it is the hope of the SDPC that the recommendations of this report can be made immediately. |
