(///2 <br /> �� <br /> Eugene Public orks <br /> Parks & Open Space ' <br /> � � > <br /> June 136, 2013 ' <br /> Dear Golden Gardens Park in -water dog trainer, <br /> Thank you for your patience with our delay in processing requests for dog training permit for the 2013 season. <br /> As a result of some problems that occurred during the 2012 training seasons, but that only recently came to <br /> our attention, the City is currently reviewing the structure of the dog training permit program. Because this <br /> review is not yet complete, we will be issuing only short -term permits that will expire on July 31ne 30, 2013. If <br /> you want to be able to train your dog after July 310, you will need to apply for a new permit. Attached is <br /> a month long six week Vehicle Access Permit for dog training. Dog training sessions will be allowed in the <br /> North and Main ponds at Golden Gardens Park with the required permit. This permit will be valid through July <br /> 31ne 30, 2013. Prior to July 31ne -30, you will receive information on the new permit process. <br /> Please read this letter and the enclosed materials to make sure you understand the requirements and limits of <br /> the program. We appreciate your continued consideration for other park users you may encounter, such as <br /> pedestrians or bicyclists, and the wildlife and habitat this wonderful park supports, such as waterfowl and <br /> western pond turtles. <br /> Only vehicles with permits from Parks and Open Space are allowed within the park boundary. The permit must <br /> be displayed on the vehicle dashboard so it is visible at all times when the vehicle is inside the park boundary. <br /> POS or City of Eugene Police Department staff may ask parties not displaying a valid permit to cease training <br /> activities and remove vehicles from the park. <br /> The north gate along the Clear Lake Road access site shall be kept locked at all times except when entering or <br /> exiting the park. The lock combination for the access site is 0 -2 -1 -0 and entry is currently available. Please <br /> contact John Clark at (541) 682 -4826 if you experience any difficulty accessing the gate with the combination. <br /> Monday through Friday permitted parking is limited to the road between the North and Main ponds inside the <br /> designated jogging path, as shown on the attached map in orange, and parking on these days will be more <br /> strictly monitored. On Saturday and Sunday, permitted parking is limited to these two locations: (1) along the <br /> road north of the walking /jogging path at the north end of the ponds and (2) on Jessen Street. Vehicles must <br /> be attended at all times. Failure to comply with these parking requirements may result in a vehicle access <br /> permit being revoked.
