“Pet-specific synthetic turf will be the primary surfacing material,” the report read. “This turf includes a sand-like material, zeolite, in place of rubber crumb, which helps cool the turf surface and limits smells from pet waste. An irrigation system and pet-safe cleaning solutions will also be used to keep the surface clean and cool and limit smells.
The report found that the most underserved area in the city for off-leash dog parks were Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, Downtown, the West End, Grandview-Woodland and Fairview. The proposed Heather Park off-leash area is in the South Cambie and will serve Fairview and Mount Pleasant. The proposed Granville Park off-leash area borders Fairview, Kitsilano and Shaughnessy with Pine Street running north south between it.
