Carter Park Dog Park Improvements
The dog park is central within Carter Park, a popular community park utilized by visitors and locals alike, year-round. The dog park is surrounded by tennis courts, a busy year-round events pavilion, and the popular wintertime sled hill. The dog park hasn’t seen large scale improvements for many years and would benefit from further drainage improvements and landscaping enhancements.
The project goals include drainage improvements to enhance the springtime experience within the dog park, improve pedestrian safety accessing the park, increase dog safety through landscaping features, and improve the circulation and users experience within the park.
The project will be phased over 2-3 years. Local contractor, Columbine Hills Construction LLC will lead the project. Columbine Hills has extensive experience building and landscaping parks within Summit County (Rainbow Park in Silverthorne, Frisco Bay Marina Landscaping in Frisco, River Park in Breckenridge), For summer 2024 the planned work for the dog park has been downgraded due to project(s) scheduling, but we’re confident of an early start next summer. Columbine Hills does plan to make some minor adjustment fixes to drainage in the NW corner outside the dog park fence which shouldn’t interfere with the functioning of the park. Both phase I and phase II of the project should move forward.
