As the city filed it

Through my community, an urgent need has been identified for a Dogs Off-Leash Area (DOLA) in the Alderwood/Sherway area of Ward 3. In 2019, in partnership with my office, the Alderwood Dog Owners' Association submitted a request for Bisset Park and Alderwood Memorial Park to be considered for a DOLA. A preliminary review of the locations by Parks, Forestry and Recreation identified some issues with these locations. At this time, I believe the location that would best serve both communities is Bisset Park.

There is only one home fronting the park, and all other homes are across a municipal road and either back or side onto the park. The other issues can be addressed by reducing the size of the DOLA and potentially reconfiguring the existing pathway. This motion directs Parks, Forestry and Recreation to proceed with planning for a DOLA in Bisset Park.
