An estimated 1,000,000 plus visitations from citizens throughout King County were made to Marymoor Dog Park in 2023. In Oct 2020, S.O.D.A. entered into a new 5 year Maintenance and Operations contract with King County that expires in 2025. Approximately 75,000 Marymoor Dog Park users benefited from these operational activities carried out by S.O.D.A. in 2023. Porta Potty Maintenance: S.O.D.A. paid for twice weekly service for two porta potties. Plastic Bags for "Poop Scoop": S.O.D.A. provided "Poop Scoop" bags for Marymoor Park users who are responsible for cleaning-up after their dogs. 48553 0 0 PARK MAINTENANCE: Trail Resurfacing: S.O.D.A. resurfaced the Dog Park's over 25,000ft of trails with "hog fuel" (cedar bark/sawdust). Over 334 volunteers, to include 61 youth, participated by donating 978.75hrs of pitchforking, wheel-barrowing and raking labor to resurface & prepare the trails for the winter wet season. Field & Trail Closures & Repairs: In 2023, the Dog Park once again experienced flooding caused by heavy rain, ditches overflowing, & the Sammamish River rising. Volunteers spent 134.5hrs installing, moving and removing temporary fencing to close the flooded areas, to repair damaged trails, to sand mud areas, and to restore flooded fields by seeding and spreading straw on the damaged areas. Invasive Weed Control: 32.25hrs of volunteer labor was directed to digging, pulling & cutting invasive weeds. Trail Timber Replacement: S.O.D.A. volunteers replaced 300ft of old, deteriorating Trail Timbers along Swamp Dog Trail with 48.5hrs of volunteer labor. River Access Repairs: Each year during the rainy season, the Sammamish River rises and the intense force of flowing water causes damage to the river access beaches. In August 2023, S.O.D.A. volunteers repaired/rebuilt the south-most river access with 61.25hrs of volunteer labor. Heron Protection Fencing: The Marymoor Park colony of Great Blue Heron returned to their nests in the cottonwood trees above our busy Dog Park in 2023. Volunteers donated 25.5hrs of labor to install temporary closure fencing around the area to separate bird & human/dog activity & then removed it when the baby heron fledged. General Maintenance: S.O.D.A. volunteers spent over 200hrs keeping Marymoor Dog Park clean by doing "poop" & litter pick-up. General maintenance of 360.25hrs of volunteer labor went to cleaning up fallen trees, clipping vegetation, trimming trees, weed-whacking fence lines, benches & bridges, filling holes, repairing fences, maintaining sidewalks & bridges, blowing leaves/muck off the River Road, repairing River access steps, putting up "Fire Danger" signs, fixing wheelbarrows, organizing storage sheds, meeting with Park personnel etc. 14970 0 0 PARK IMPROVEMENTS: Split-Rail Fencing: Many of the Marymoor Dog Park split-rail fence lines are over 20yrs old and deteriorating. In February 2023. S.O.D.A. replaced 140ft of old split-rail around a native plant area at the east Dog Park entrance by Parking Lot G with 32.75hrs of volunteer labor. In May 2023, S.O.D.A. volunteers cleared vegetation along 390ft of falling down split-rail fencing. Then in June 2023, the old fencing was removed and replaced with new split-rail. This 390ft fencing replacement project was completed with a total of 149.5hrs of volunteer labor. "Poop Scoop" Bag Holders: S.O.D.A. provides plastic bags for Park Users to use for cleaning up after their dogs. There are eight "Poop Scoop" Bag Holders in the Dog Park that were built as Eagle Scout Projects in 2007 & 2008. These Bag Holders were in need of refurbishing. S.O.D.A. replaced and updated the signage and replaced the lids and hardware with 10.75hrs of volunteer labor. Porta Potty Facility: S.O.D.A. provides a Porta Potty facility for Park Users within the Dog Park. The large "RESTROOMS" sign on the facility was tagged with graffiti which smeared when trying to clean.
