STONER PARK DISRUPTION

The new walk path currently being built was designed to make Stoner Park more accessible to visitors with disabilities in 2022.

However, this well-intentioned design overlooked the existing use case for this part of Stoner: an unofficial gathering place for pet owners in the past twenty plus years.

The Neighborhood Council requested LA City turn the site into an "official" dog park in 2017. Our request was denied because the area is below the recommended size for an official dog park.

The Neighborhood Council currently is asking the city to place 2 unlocked gates to the north and south of the area to keep both pets and park visitors safe.

In addition, we are asking the city to review and reconsider the Neighborhood Council's previous request.

With the increasing density coming to our community, the community's demand for essential civic infrastructure, such as a dog park, will only continue to grow.
