We have helped municipalities and communities plan parks of every size, and the successful ones all answered the same five questions before breaking ground.
1. Who are the dogs?
A neighbourhood of senior labradors needs different equipment than one full of young herding breeds. Survey the local owners first.
2. How will dogs of different sizes share the space?
Separate zones work, but adjustable equipment often works better — the same slalom course serves a Chihuahua and a Great Dane at different spacings.
3. What happens in the rain?
Drainage and surfacing decide whether your park is usable 12 months a year or 6. Natural materials with proper substrate beat mud every time.
4. Who maintains it?
Durable equipment with a 10-year warranty changes the maintenance calculation completely. Budget for inspection, not replacement.
5. How will you measure success?
Visit length is the honest metric. A toilet-stop park holds dogs for five minutes; a purpose-built one holds them for thirty.
