UNDERSTANDING OF NEED e0000000000a0000�o\000000s0000�.0000a0000000000e000000a000 7. Though shade trees will undoubtedly be a part of the design, shade structures should be considered for this exposed site. Shade over the play lot should be required. 8. Stormwater management should be contained on site. DVD's team has included stormwater facilities on a number of dog park layouts, we look forward to sharing our experience and the opportunities we see for this Centennial Park site. 9. A small auditorium and dog training area will be a great compliment to the proposed facility. DVD has designed dedicated training areas for dogs at several municipal parks. The dog show auditorium space will be an interesting and novel installation within the overall design. 10. Site lighting for use and security will be considered across the whole site. Evening use would be a great opportunity for some exercise in the winter months. 11. A site -wide and access signage program will b e a must for this somewhat remote and hidden site. DVD will provide graphic icons that will make these signs attractive and meaningful. 12. Amenities for both two legged visitors and their four -legged friends will be vetted though community and stakeholder outreach. Restrooms, benches, tables, drinking fountains, playlot, agility apparatus, the amphitheater, etc. will be incorporate into the design. 13. A children's playlot would be a great offering for families that come to use the dog park. How about a fido themed play space with agility components that mimic the dog park elements? 14. There are some "outside -the -box" opportunities that the DVD team could considered if the city staff is open to a broader project scope, how about: a. Providing access to the dog park site from the gate to the reservation center or through the materials yard then west to the designated site. b. What if the turf/dirt soccer field adjacent to the lake was swapped with the dog park site, this may be an interesting alternative to explore? c. Could the soccer restroom be used by the dog park contingent to save on improvement costs? d. Could the materials yard be swapped for the designated site? The dog park would be closer to already available parking. e. Could the amphitheater and maybe a stage area be used for special events besides dog shows, how about dog themed movie night? Dog parades on Halloween or other holidays? 0000a00000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO00000a00000OOOOOOOOO000OOOOOOOOOOoo`ooe00000OO00000a00000OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO00000a00000000�0000 3ANTA ANA DOG PARK, CITY OF 3ANTA ANA MOVED 8
