LAND DESIGN SERVICES DIVISION <br />LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE // PLANNING // ENVIRONMENTAL <br />TRANSPORTATION // ENGINEERING // SURVEYING & SUE // CREATIVE SERVICES <br />The City of Parkland initiated the design of Barkland, its <br />first dog park, in the Fall of 2010. WGI’s Land Design <br />Services Division teamed up with Keith and Associates <br />to design and permit the 2 acre doggie playground. Our <br />firm was responsible for providing landscape drawings, <br />irrigation drawings, and equipment specifications for the <br />site furnishings and accessories. Land Design Services <br />also provided presentation graphics and elevation <br />renderings for representation before Parkland’s City <br />Council. <br />Barkland includes two separate fenced-in play areas, <br />one area for large dogs and one area for small dogs. <br />There are two large walking trails that loop through the <br />site to connect the park’s pavilions, benches, picnic <br />tables, and drinking fountains. There is also plenty of <br />room for man’s best friend to exercise on the play station <br />equipment or run free in the open grass fields. The park <br />opened for play in January 2012 and was immediately <br />successful. Barkland has become a great destination <br />place for a local community to gather and spend time <br />with their family pets. <br />BARKLAND DOG PARK <br />LOCATION: <br />Parkland, Florida <br />REFERENCE: <br />The City of Parkland <br />Mr. Brian Archer // Management Analyst <br />Ms. Caryn Gardner-Young // City Manager <br />6600 University Drive <br />Parkland, Florida 33067 <br />Phone: 954.757.4153 <br />954.753.5040 <br />DATE STARTED: <br />Design August 2010 <br />Construction N/A <br />DATE COMPLETED: <br />Design January 2012 <br />Construction N/A <br />TOTAL COST: <br />Design $30K <br />Construction $300K <br />PROJECT MANAGER: <br />Brian Terry, RLA, LEED AP <br />KEY STAFF: <br />Doug Murray, RLA <br />Richard Donofrio, RLA <br />PAGE 13
