The 3.25-acre Dog Park, located at the Southeast section of Haulover Park, will feature a separate area for small dogs, a separate area for large dogs, and a common area, all enclosed by a perimeter double-gated fence with three separate entrances for the safety of the dogs. There will also be "pooper scooper" stations within all the areas providing plastic bag dispensers and trash cans for owners to pick up after their dogs. This first phase of construction will also feature the construction of accessible concrete walkways leading from the parking lot to the Dog Park, and concrete entryways into each section of the park. The idea for the Dog Park at Haulover Park came from Commissioner Sally Heyman and one that would be developed in partnership with surrounding municipalities. The Bal Harbour Village's Public Works Department is assisting Miami-Dade Parks in the first phase of construction. Future development within the dog park will include water fountains, dog play equipment, and site furniture, and will be provided through the commitment of the partnering entities. Total project cost for this first phase of development is $130,000 funded by Safe Neighborhood Parks (SNP) Interest Funds and the Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond (BBC-GOB). "This dog park will be a great addition to Haulover Park," said Commissioner Sally Heyman. "Now dog owners in the neighboring beachside communities will have a place close by where they can take their dogs for exercise and recreation." About Miami-Dade Park and Recreation:
