<br /> <br /> <br />April 7, 2011 <br /> <br /> <br />Dear Golden Gardens Park in-water dog trainer, <br /> <br />In-water dog training sessions are underway in the North and Main ponds at Golden Gardens <br />Park with the required permit. The current 2011 season Vehicle Access Permit and additional <br />materials are enclosed. Please read this letter and enclosed materials, as some changes have <br />been made to the program. We appreciate your continued consideration for other park users <br />you may encounter, such as pedestrians or bicyclists, and the wildlife and habitat this <br />wonderful park support, such as turtles and hatchlings which might be seen. <br /> <br />Only vehicles with permits from Parks and Open Space are allowed within the park boundary. <br />The permit must be displayed on the vehicle dashboard so it is visible at all times when the <br />vehicle is inside the park boundary. POS or City of Eugene Police Department staff may ask <br />parties not displaying a permit to cease training activities and remove vehicles from the park. <br /> <br />The north gate along the Clear Lake Road access site shall be kept locked at all times except <br />when entering or exiting the park. The lock combination for the access site is 5-2-1-9 and entry <br />is currently available. Please contact John Clark (541) 682-4826 if you experience any difficulty <br />accessing the gate with the combination. <br /> <br />Monday through Friday permitted parking is limited to the road between the North Pond and <br />Main Pond inside the designated jogging path as shown on the attached map in orange and will <br />be more strictly monitored. Saturday and Sunday, permitted parking is limited to the road <br />outside the designated jogging path within the park boundaries (north of the jogging path at <br />the north end of the ponds) or on Jessen Street. Disregard for this request may result in a <br />vehicle access permit being revoked. Vehicles must be attended at all times. Please contact <br />Clara should you have questions or concerns about the designated parking area. <br /> <br />Direct access to the ponds for dog training activities is limited to the Main Pond and North <br />Pond, as shown on the attached map. No more than two dogs per trainer are allowed to be <br />active in the ponds at any given time. In-water dog training activities are allowed from April 1 <br />to October 31, daily from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.; please note limited vehicle parking on Saturday and <br />Sunday as referenced above. Dog training in the fields away from the ponds is allowed only <br />with written permission from lease-holders of those fields. <br /> <br />No use of shock collars or powered launchers is allowed on Saturday and Sunday. <br /> <br />Enjoy the park and thank you for referring your colleagues and friends to our office for in- <br />water dog training Vehicle Access Permits at Golden Gardens Park. Requests may be emailed to <br />clara.t.matsler@ci.eugene.or.us or made by telephone at (541) 682-4908. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Neil Björklund <br />POS Planning Manager <br /> <br />541-682 - 4909 <br /> <br />
