SUBJECT: NAME APPROVAL FOR THE DOG PARK AT TUSTIN LEGACY PARK
SUMMARY:
At their September 21, 2022, Regular Meeting, the Community Services Commission
recommended forwarding a name for the new dog park at Tustin Legacy Park for
approval by the City Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution 22-49 approving "The Bark
Barracks at Tustin Legacy Park" as the official name of the City of Tustin's first dog park.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact for this item.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
The dog park project advances Goal A of the City of Tustin Strategic Plan regarding
Economic and Neighborhood Development by expanding recreational activities through
improvements to existing parks.
BACKGROUND:
In the 2022-2023 Capital Improvement Program Budget, City Council approved the
design and construction of Tustin's first dog park to be located at Tustin Legacy Park. At
just under one acre, the dog park will feature separately fenced large and small dog areas
with two -gate entry systems, lighting, play amenities, shade and seating areas, an
informational kiosk, a dog memorial area, and plenty of open space to run. Currently, the
project is midway through the design phase, with expected completion in Summer 2023.
In July 2022, the Community Services Commission approved the strategy recommended
by staff for the selection of a name for the dog park at Tustin Legacy Park, including the
appointment of a Dog Park Naming Sub -Committee. Name suggestions for the dog park
were solicited from the public through a variety of community outreach methods. The
opportunity was promoted at the 2022 Concerts in the Park and Movies in the Park

events through announcements and flyers and it was publicized multiple times via social
media platforms, email blasts, and the City website.
Collected in-person at the events and via an online survey through the end of August
2022, a total of 153 name suggestions were received. Staff worked with the Dog Park
Naming Sub -Committee to narrow these down to a final list of five (5) names which were
presented to the full Community Services Commission at their September 21, 2022,
meeting. After discussion and consideration of the five options, the Commission chose
to recommend "The Bark Barracks at Tustin Legacy Park" based on its uniqueness and
connection to the military history of the Legacy area. Their second choice was "The Dog
Spot at Tustin Legacy Park".
