First, a meeting to discuss a fenced off-leash area at Olson Park

The following day there will be another meeting to discuss a temporary fence at Southeast Area Park

- Southeast Area Park Picnic Shelter
- Corner of Platt and Ellsworth Rds.
This is extremely encouraging. First it looks like Parks and Rec has heard our concerns and those of non-dog owners and realizes that fences are worth the investment. It also looks like they intend to go forward with the community dog run program and also to provide a temporary solution until Swift Run can be opened.
As always I have my skepticism and I'll wait to see what becomes a reality before I am really convinced. But it appears that we are really being taken seriously now and that we may even have a usable off-leash space within the next couple of months.

Do you know how this would fit into the budgetary constraints that essentially killed the Ward Park project? Ie where would they get the money for the fence for Olsen Park, if they couldn't find it for Ward? Different pots? Just wondering!
The city web page states that Sculpture Plaza is to be renovated. Last year when this was presented at several public meetings the cost was estimated to be $350,000. There was little, if any, consensus at the public meetings what should be done. Most seemed to think repairing the sculpture and replanting the trees would be adequate. But that was insufficient to spend the $350,000
