I am working towards getting a surveillance camera for the dog park. Im hoping this will bring accountability to those who would bring aggressive dogs to the park and stop them from coming. And proof in “he said/she said” type situations.

Please call the non-emergency number (800) 249-0911 or 911, if necessary in the instance of an aggressive dog situation. If we don’t report it, then there are no repercussions for those bringing aggressive dogs.

We all just want a fun and safe place for our dogs to play. It takes a “village” to help make that happen.

We are lucky to have have three amazing dog parks in our tri-cities area. If the vibe isn’t good at one, try another that day.

Play on! 🐾

Bench Update

It was passed at October’s Parks and Recreation meeting that we will move the existing bench into the big dog park. Must Love Dogs’ dog park fund will purchase ($2500.00) bench for small dog area. These things probably won’t happen until Spring due to having to anchor them in concrete. Concrete will go much deeper in hopes of alleviating the problem of dogs digging under bench.

I think it would be nice to have another bench for each park. We would need to seek donations for those. $5,000.00 total for two more benches. Donations can be made at Must Love Dogs payable to GHDP (Grand Haven Dog Park). It is not a tax deductible donation. You could have plaque on concrete of bench.

A training technique to change dogs’ minds regarding fireworks.

Get out really special treats and your dog’s favorite toy. I’ve heard this works for A LOT of dogs. Hey… it’s worth a shot right?

06/18/2021

The conversation has gone a bit dormant so this morning I emailed the City Council to ask them to consider allowing alternate benches inside the dog park only. If you'll recall, they require that all benches within city parks be the same - like the red one - and the cost for ONE bench is $2500 installed.

I just sent the email this morning and I will update you will responses.

If you would like to write a polite note of encouragement to the City Council please see following email addresses. I would recommend using DOG PARK BENCHES in the subject line.

Seating Update: Rich, a member on the Parks & Rec board has reached out to Todd at Public Works and was directed to Derek at Public Works. At this time, the ONLY benches allowed in ANY Grand Haven City Park are those ones like the red one. I think they are $2100 for the bench and $400 for installation (or maybe $2200/$300). We are now in the process of seeing if we can get a variance of sorts ONLY for the INSIDE of the Dog Park via the City Council.

Stay tuned....

06/04/2021

Update on seating: Rich, another Parks & Rec board member, stopped down to Public Works today to talk to Todd.
Todd said that the ONLY benches we can have in the park are the kind that was in the entry and gets moved into the park. And that they are supposed to be secured via concrete. (which that one obviously is not and may be a potential oversite). That NO other types of benches are allowed. This is what I was told when I raised the money to open the park and that is why there is only that ONE bench that was paid for and donated by a customer of mine. These benches are $2500 each.

We are trying to find out who made/makes this rule and see if we can get it changed at least for inside the dog park. I feel like the inside of the dog park and seating for it, are different than seating in a regular park. We are hoping to have more info on Monday.

Even if we did buy the approved benches, they take 2 months to deliver. Worst case scenario, we have to buy those benches but I'm hoping they will allow for something temporary for this season until they arrive.

Please bear with us as we work through this issue towards a solution.

Thank you!
