Community Support for the Park Dates Back to 2014, When Nearly 3,500 Residents Signed a Petition
On Monday, October 21, the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks, in collaboration with Council District 11, will host a community meeting to discuss the upcoming Pacific Palisades Dog Park. The meeting will take place from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Palisades Branch Library Community Room.
“After years of community advocacy, we’ve worked hard to secure funding for this long-time community priority, and we’re excited to see the project move forward,” said Councilwoman Traci Park in a notice promoting the meeting.
The proposed dog park, located in Temescal Canyon Park, is set to include new fencing, a concrete travel path, synthetic surfacing, security lighting, a hydration station, and dog agility equipment. The project follows the L.A. Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners’ vote nearly nine months ago to apply for a $1.5 million grant for the park’s development.
Community support for the park dates back to 2014, when nearly 3,500 residents signed a petition advocating for an off-leash dog park. In recent years, the city allocated $765,000 toward the project, helping to push the initiative forward.
The October 21 meeting will provide updates and gather input from the public as the project progresses.
