ATTACHMENT D DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT& ESTIMATION OF COSTS EVERETT 1YAtHIHCtON PARKS & COMMUNITY SERVICES Project Summary Project Name: Lowell Riverfront Trail Off-leash Dog Park Introduction The Everett Parks Strategic Master Plan in 2006 and update in 2013 identified off-leash dog areas as one of the priorities for future development. Everett Park's system has three off-leash dog parks, these are located at Howarth Park, Loganberry Lane and Lowell Park. Lowell Neighborhood meetings were held in April and May of 2019 to discuss the existing park amenities and the possible relocation of the off-leash dog park. The off-leash dog area at Lowell Park is 0.33 acres, located in the northern part of the park and slopes downwards to the south towards the tennis court. However due to its small size, slope of the area and heavy use the area is subject to significant erosion and requires frequent maintenance. Dog parks are typically greater than 0.5 acres. This project will construct a larger off-leash area that will serve the Lowell neighborhood, Riverfront Development and visitors to Rotary and Riverfront Trail Parks. The proposed area is approximately 0.86 acres, relatively flat and adjacent to an existing large gravel parking area. The project area is located north of the Riverfront Trail parking area in between the BNSF Rail line and the Riverfront Trail adjacent to the Snohomish River. See Drawing L1.0.
