LATEST NEWS - SEPTEMBER 15
The Louisville Dog Run Association and the Toonerville Trolley Neighborhood Association have prepared a diagram and cost estimate for a proposed 11,000 square foot dog run to be located within Toonerville Trolley Park. Here is a breakdown of the estimate:

Fence - Ornamental Aluminum $9,300
Surface - Crushed Limestone $7,500
New Concrete Path Around Green $34,585
New Water Line $5,000
Benches $2,800
Lights $2,000
Bulletin Board $650
Gate System $850
Signage $400
Storage Box $300
Dogipots $200
TOTAL $63,585


In addition to the new dog run, the project includes the creation of a walking path that would connect to the sidewalk in the front half of the park and go around the green area at the rear of the park. The dog run area would then be located near the tennis court (outlined in blue on the photo below), or click HERE to see some pictures of the area.



The next step will be to hold a public discussion on the project with surrounding property owners and interested citizens. We will post information about that meeting as soon as a date is set. Until then, feel free to email us at info@louisvilledogs.org if you have any questions or comments about this project.

PARK LOCATION & DESCRIPTION
Toonerville Trolley Park is a 2-acre park located in the heart of the Old Louisville Neighborhood at the intersection of Oak Street and Brook Street. The Louisville Dog Run Association is currently working with the Toonerville Trolley Neighborhood Association and Louisville Metro Parks to establish the Old Louisville Dog Run.



In November 2008, the LDRA submitted the Toonerville Dog Run Master Plan to Metro Parks for consideration. The master plan explained the need for and benefits of having a dog run in Toonerville Trolley Park and proposed three alternative locations for the dog run in the park. Upon evaluation of this master plan, Metro Parks has stated that their preferred alternative would be on the existing tennis courts. After some debate it was determined it would be best to leave the tennis courts as is and focus on using part of the grassy area located immediately south of the tennis courts. Currently the LDRA and members of the Old Louisville Dog Run Task Force are coming up with design options and an estimate on constructing a dog run facility. Please check back later to see how we progress!

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions for the proposed Old Louisville Dog Run please email us at info@louisvilledogs.org.
