Why Join Shore Dogs?
If you use this park regularly you really should help support it by
joining Shore Dogs. It is only $30.00 a year, and the contribution
helps support the ongoing maintenance, improvements and events at
the park.
Organization Background
In 1997 a group of Shores residents initiated a petition drive to
try to persuade the City of Redwood City to put a dog park in the Shores.
It took almost two years of negotiations and compromise in order to
secure the location and design we currently have, but finally all
the efforts paid off. In December 1998 Shore Dog Park opened. The
city agreed to build the park and operate it in partnership with
the Shore Dogs Club.
Why The Assocation
As in all city operations, financing was a big factor in the decision
to allow this park. Not only the funds for initial construction, but
also the continuing maintenance requirements. The solution was a
partnership between the City of Redwood City and Shore Dogs to help
maintain Shore Dogs Park. Shore Dogs is responsible for keeping the
park clean and helping to enforce the rules and the City maintains the
park grounds, provides garbage pick up and assists with major turf
repair and replacement work with Shore Dogs financial support.
Obligations include:
- Furnishing and replacing equipment such as waste cans and liners, pick-up bags and dog bowls.
- Raising funds to help pay for park turf repair and improvements.
- Making recommendations and providing direction to the City on Park design, repair, maintenance and improvement issues.
- Daily park maintenance, emptying small garbage cans, changing bags, and miscellaneous clean up.
- Maintaining the website, the Park bulletin board, information boxes and other general signs.
- Monitoring the enforcement of Park Rules and Regulations to ensure everyone's enjoyment and safety.
- Organizing and running Park events.
In order to accomplish the above obligations we need members. Your annual dues of $30 help to pay for park maintenance and park repair and improvements. In return you have a very nice dog park to use to exercise and socialize your dog and a chance to meet and make new friends.
Benefits
By joining you become an official Shore Dogs Park supporter. You will be listed
