Board favors Option A for Sisters Gateway Park dog area, citing access and separation from labyrinth
Summary
Staff presented three layout options for a compact dog park at Sisters Gateway Park; participants favored Option A (entry near the existing informational kiosk) for logical access from parking and to reduce trampling risks to nearby features; staff said water would be seasonal and will refine the layout.
Staff introduced a proposed small dog park at Sisters Gateway Park as a traveler-friendly rest stop amenity with an airlock-style entry, dog-waste bag dispensers and a low-foot-pressure water fountain. The presentation outlined three entry options (A: kiosk; B: perimeter path; C: RV dump station), and staff requested input on siting and pedestrian flow.
Multiple participants said they preferred Option A because it provides logical access from parking and separates dog traffic from the nearby community labyrinth. One participant said, "I like option A" and staff agreed that Option A best balances access, separation from pedestrian routes and trash/dispenser placement. Staff confirmed water at the dog park would be seasonal, similar to other fountains around town.
