Description
small dog park gate entrance. The gate entrance is an accident waiting to happen. The problem is caused by water erosion. The dirt and gravel under the two entrance gates is much lower than the fence.
Small dogs can crawl under the fence and are in danger of being hit by cars in the parking lot or the street.
A make-shift Fix has been bricks and boards placed under the gate. This helps keep the dogs in the park; but causes an endangerment to people that may not see the bricks and wood.
It would be nice to have it leveled and a concrete slab poured for the entrance area (this would be great for the big dog park too).

Hi,
I submitted several items that needed repair in the small dog park. I opened separate see-click-fix tickets with pictures. The water erosion from the last big storm flooded the park. The bridges are out (big dog park), all along the fence there is erosion. I suggest that someone walk the fence through the entire park and see where there are problems. They are just going to get worst as the weather changes. When someone walks the park; they can also check the drinking fountain, benches that may need repair, etc.
Thank you.

This is crazy. I know that all of you are working with limited resources. My requests need to be prioritized. The front gate should be first. Concrete would probably last the longest but even Pouring gravel and leveling the area would work. Someone is going to trip and it will cost more to pay their medical bills, not to mention possible lawsuit. Many people would offer to help to get these problems fixed.
I don’t think any of my requests have been fixed.
Thank you W. Mullis for your attention.

I have passed the requests to our managers as they have come in, and managers have been meeting with engineers for advise on how to fix the erosion issue effectively and efficiently.
All of the materials placed by the entrance gate have been removed and gate will be lowered today.
We are receiving quotes on replacing the fence and bridges.
We are working on a solution for the trash gathering water fountain causing it not to function properly.
I hope this helps clarify.

Thank you for giving me a heads-up. I’ve been out of town so I haven’t seen the work completed.
Macon Dog Park is by far the best dog park I’ve ever seen. I appreciate that you contacted me. I believe that there are a few engineers that come to the dog park. You can find people via the Macon Dog Park group on Facebook.
Thanks again,
Margaret

Good Afternoon,
I have spoken to our staff, and been informed that we have received the quotes to repair the gate and are trying to secure funding for this project to proceed.
After receiving the quotes on bridge replacement and securing funding for these projects, the park will be temporarily closed to complete all repairs (the public will be provided ample notice).
We appreciate your reporting and are working on addressing all of the concerns that have been reported.
