Eugene . lip Works <br /> .,s Parrs & Open Space <br /> October 18, 2012 <br /> Barbara Young <br /> 2610 Quince Street <br /> Eugene, OR 97404 <br /> Dear Barbara, <br /> Parks and Open Space (POS) staff is pleased with the increased activities at Golden <br /> Garden Park this year. Staff continues to observe increased recreational use, positive <br /> habitat changes for wildlife, and increased wildlife species using the pond. <br /> The 2012 season of in -water dog training at Golden Gardens Park resulted in POS <br /> issuing 30 permits to park users from neighboring local and distant cities, including 18 <br /> new user permits. The current season will end on Wednesday, October 31, after which <br /> vehicle access inside the park and in -water dog training activities will be prohibited. The <br /> combination lock securing the north gate entrance, off of Clear Lake Road, will be <br /> changed at that time. <br /> POS staff may review Vehicle Access Permit requirements for 2013 in upcoming <br /> months, and any changes will be included in materials sent during the course of issuing <br /> 2013 permits. <br /> To request a Vehicle Access Permit for in -water dog training purposes in 2013 will <br /> require a request in writing, similar to your previous requests, and may be submitted at <br /> your convenience beginning in February to Clara Matsler in our office. Contact Clara by <br /> telephone at 541.682.4908 or by email at clara .t.matslerta',ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> Enjoy the park over the winter and spring, and thank you for your cooperation and your <br /> consideration to other park users and wildlife these past months. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Neil Bjorklund <br /> POS Planning Manager <br /> 541.682.4909 <br /> City of Eugene • 1820 Roosevelt Blvd. • Eugene, OR 97402 • 541- 682 -4800 • 541 - 682 -4882 Fax <br /> www.eugene- or.gov <br />
