The students in this course dedicated their independent
master’s degree capstone reports to Apache Junction’s aspiration for
an off-leash dog park. Each pursued their own angles on this topic,
such as the potential of local public-private partnerships for funding, or
which features are most important to the success of a park. Based on
their research methods, the students generated their own findings and
recommendations. Among these were: 1) that a dog park should be at
minimum 1 acre and have a fence with a gate, benches, water sources,
waste receptacles, and shade; 2) the facility could be financed with
funds sourced from other delayed or under-budget projects.
