Project scheduleNov. - Dec. 2024
Completion DateOctober 08, 2024

Following the approval of Proposition 68, plans were made to develop a Parks, Recreation & Open Space Master Plan with the goal of improving various parks and open spaces throughout Albany. The City Council adopted the master plan and PROS Commission approved the scope of work proposed for Memorial Park, including dog park improvements. Starting November 12, 2024, construction will begin for irrigation and drainage improvements; a new sidewalk along Carmel Avenue; a new entrance with a holding area; a new small dog area; a new bottle filler; new benches; trees and other amenities. This means the dog park will be open to the public on an adjusted schedule November 12-22, open from 4pm-8pm.

The bulk of the work will be completed during the annual Winter closure of the dog park starting in December. This project is made possible by the Prop 68 Recreational Infrastructure Revenue Enhancement grant program.
