Resident asks St. Charles to add fenced dog parks to underserved areas
Summary
A resident said additional fenced dog parks would reduce travel time for pet owners and asked council to direct staff to evaluate locations and gather public input for possible inclusion in future park planning.
Matthias Velasco, an east-side resident, asked the council to consider expanding park investments to include one or two fenced dog parks in areas currently underserved. He said that dog owners often must drive across town to find safe, fenced spaces and that adding even a small number of neighborhood dog parks would benefit hundreds of households and encourage community interaction.
Velasco requested that the council direct staff to evaluate potential locations, gather public input and determine whether dog parks could be included in future park planning. The transcript records the request during the public-comment period; no staff direction or action was recorded at the meeting.
