Ross Small Dog Area - Phase 1
Saturday, April 26, 2008
Ross Off-Leash Dog Recreation Area, NE Ross St and NE 18th Ave
8:30am - undetermined end time.
Hello park users,
Saturday, April 26th, we will be beginning the first phase of
construction of the small dog area at Ross. Thanks to Sunbelt
rentals, we have a machine to dig the holes, however we will
need muscle to man up to the machine. Our goal is to dig all
holes and set all posts in 1 day, so that we don't leave a
hazzard in the park.
If you can volunteer at least a couple of hours on that day,
please let me know ASAP. Hopefully we will get enough people
so that all of us dont get too burned out - because we will
need to practice for the other off leash areas that are going
to be constructed in Clark County!
thanks for your support.

ROSS PARK CHIPS - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We have a tractor coming at 8:00a.m. this Saturday, February 9, to move the chips inside the fence on the top side. We need volunteers to help unload the trucks and spread on the paths and other areas still needing attention.
Bring wheelbarrows, rakes, shovels, boots, and possibly a rain coat!
Also, be aware the gates will be open throughout the day and vehicles will be inside the park. This might not be a good time to bring your four legged friends.
Thank you again for answering our call.

2007-06-16 :: Ross Spruce up Party ::.
DOGPAW is getting our park ready for our annual Dog Days of Summer!
Come join your DOGPAW friends at Ross Park on Saturday June 16th at 8:30AM for our Summer Spruce-Up Party.
We NEED:
We also need some folks to inform park users at the gates about the work party and to collect donations for Pay-to-Play. We’d like to use the opportunity to sign up new DOGPAW members where we can.
We will close the park for regular use starting at 8AM. Workers will complete spruce-up chores in the southern half of the park first. The north, or top half, will be open for use on a Pay-to-Play basis.
When we are finished in the southern section we will close it - except for Pay-to-Play - and then work on the north section.
Pay-to-Play allows limited access to the park, promotes DOGPAW goals to fund raise and sign members and makes our group efforts visible to our neighbors. The event will help educate users who do not realize that tax dollars don’t make DOGPAW OLAs happen - DOGPAW people do. You may Pay-to-Play by donating to the maintenance effort with cash or labor or a donation of tools or treats (for workers). Otherwise the park is closed.
DOGPAW needs your help, time, money and tools to keep our parks
running smoothly and looking good.
Please come ready to work for a couple hours or more. If you cannot lift, carry, mow, rake or whack please come gather donations and help keep the workers happy. We’d like to spread donated wood chips as well as the joy of working together on our DOGPAW park.
Our family is donating a case of beverages and ice in addition to our time. Your efforts for ice-filled coolers or treats for workers are welcomed.

Who
What is DOGPAW?
In October 2004, Dog Owners Group for Park Access in Washington (DOGPAW) registered with the state as a non-profit organization.
DOGPAW's stated mission: To work with dog owners and the community at large to promote awareness, acceptance and availability of off- leash areas in Clark County.
Since the city and county governments have made it clear that there is no money for off-leash areas, one of our most important jobs will be to raise money to build and maintain safe sites in our communities.
Please help by joining DOGPAW and making a donation. Visit us on the web at http://www.clarkdogpaw.org.

2007-01-06 :: X-mas Tree Recycling Drop-off ::.
LOOKING FOR WORKERS
On Saturday January 6th the Boy scouts will once again drop off Christmas trees at ROSS. We need help to unload and pile the trees between the hours of 9 and 3.
On Saturday January 20th we will be chipping the trees and spreading the chips on both the upper and lower levels of ROSS. This day will require many workers with wheelbarrows, shovels and rakes. If anyone has a large chipper this would also be greatly appreciated.
We are grateful to our local Boy Scout group for the opportunity to have the trees and look forward to once again enjoying the fresh smell and less mud at ROSS.
Please email or call your site manager to let us know what time you will be available to work on either of the above dates.
Also, VERY IMPORTANT, for the safety of our dogs, beginning on Saturday 20th and continuing until all the chips are spread, ROSS WILL BE CLOSED to all dogs. With enough workers we hope to be closed for only one day.
To arrange your work time please contact Patricia Weinkauf at Clarkbarkpark at aol.com or call 992-1692.
There will be a $5.00 fee for all trees dropped off by individuals.

The public is invited to help the Board of County Commissioners and Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation celebrate the start of construction on Pacific Community Park in east Clark County at 4 p.m. on March 15. This 56-acre park is located on the south side of NE 18th Street, between NE 164th and NE 172nd avenues, and is the first community park to start construction as part of the new Greater Clark Parks District.
The event will feature brief comments from the Board of County Commissioners, Parks and Recreation Advisory Commissioners, Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation Director David Judd, and Clark County DOGPAW Chair Pam Goe prior to the official groundbreaking ceremony. Children and friendly dogs are welcome to attend, and light refreshments will be provided. The event will take place inside the park just north of the entrance at the corner of NE 164th Avenue and NE 15th Street. On-street parking will be available along NE 164th Avenue and NE 15th Street.
Once construction is complete, Pacific Community Park will feature:
Play areas
Ball fields
A 10,000 square foot Extreme Sports Park for skateboarders, BMX riders,
and in-line skaters
A fenced 8-acre off-leash area for dogs
Trails
Restrooms
Picnic shelters
Parking
Landscaping
The Pacific Community Park construction contract is scheduled to be awarded to a contractor on March 7, with work starting on or after March 15. Weather permitting, construction is tentatively scheduled to be complete in spring 2007. In preparation for the start of construction, the existing off-leash area was relocated to a four-acre area in the southwest corner of the park on March 1. This temporary off-leash area will be available throughout construction.

DEAR DOGPAW SUPPORTERS
We need your help!
As you may or may not know, by the end of February and through the remaining construction phase of the park, we will be reduced to using only 4 acres in the SW corner of Pacific.
More than ever before, it is imperative that people currently enjoying this park, join Dogpaw now so that we may have a stronger voice!
Here's how you can help:
If you are able to help out on March 4, please respond to this email with which shift(s) or time you are available.
Thank you for supporting off leash dog park!

As you may or may not know, by the end of February and through the remaining construction phase of the park, we will be reduced to using only 4 acres in the SW corner of Pacific.
More than ever before, it is imperative that people currently enjoying this park, join Dogpaw now so that we may have a stronger voice!
Here's how you can help:
- Dogpaw will be holding a Membership drive and park cleanup on Saturday March 4, 7:00am to 4:00pm. We are looking for volunteers to help us clean up our area of Pacific Park and to help us to get the message out to other park users about the importance of joining Dogpaw by working a shift at our membership booth. Each shift is 2 hours. If you can work more than one shift, GREAT!
- When you're at the park, either park, talk with others about the importance of joining Dogpaw and making their voices hear. You will be surprised at how many people still think that both parks are operated and funded by the City, County or even BPA!
- Wear your Dogpaw hat so people will approach you and ask about Dogpaw. We will be selling hats at this membership drive or contact me at the email address below if you would like to purchase a hat. Remember, as with everything else, 100% of Dogpaw profits go to support off-leash dog parks in Clark County.
- Ask people you meet at the park if they are Dogpaw members as they may be new to the area and unaware of how our parks are funded. You can direct them to Dopaw's website www.clarkdogpaw.org or to the brochures at the Kiosks.
If you are able to help out on March 4, please respond to this email with which shift(s) or time you are available.
Thank you for supporting off leash dog park!
