Weigh in While You Can: Oak Creek Park and Central Bark Changes

Irvinites are invited suggest improvements to Oak Creek Community Park and Central Bark Dog Park.

Calling all Irvinites! The city wants your input on improving Oak Creek Community Park and Central Bark, including City Operations Support Facility and the Irvine Animal Care Center.

The Animal Care Center will add a new clinic, increased parking, training areas, administration spaces, and adoption spaces, as well as a rehabilitation of all animal-related areas. Moving Central Bark to a new location allows for the facility project expansion while providing an opportunity for upgrades and improvements for dog park visitors. Construction will be coordinated to allow for the current dog park to remain open until the new dog park is complete.

There are two surveys, available through January 31: a community park survey, and a survey focused on dog park amenities. Input provided through these surveys will be presented in virtual public meetings held in February and will inform the design of a plan for improving Oak Creek Community Park.

Oak Creek Community Park is located at 15616 Valley Oak Drive. The city has more information about the planned improvements online.
