Both parks have fencing infrastructure that will be (repurposed) for dog park use, McIntosh said. Ingledew Park is a treed park at the intersection of 17th Avenue and Ingledew Street. Malaspina Park is a grassy fenced area, located beside Malaspina Elementary School. The cost to convert the parks for off-leash use was estimated at $25,000, and it was not expected to add significant operational costs. The city s current off-leash dog park program costs the city about $15,000 per year in addition to normal park-related costs, according to a report provided to council. The parks will be the first off-leash dog parks in the Miller Addition and College Heights neighbourhoods.
