An estimated 1,000,000 plus visitations from citizens throughout King County were made to Marymoor Dog Park in 2024. 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 2024. 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. 40367 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 300 volunteers, to include 33 youth, participated by donating 945.25hrs of pitchforking, wheel-barrowing and raking labor to resurface & prepare the trails for the winter wet season. Field & Trail Closures & Repairs: In 2024, the Dog Park once again experienced flooding caused by heavy rain, ditches overflowing, & the Sammamish River rising. Volunteers spent 118.75hrs 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: 159.5hrs of volunteer labor was directed to digging, pulling & cutting invasive weeds. Gravel Main Beach Access Steps: S.O.D.A. volunteers refreshed the steps with 20hrs 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 2024. Volunteers donated 15.25hrs 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 532.75hrs 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. 9611 0 0 PARK IMPROVEMENTS: Split-Rail Fencing: Many of the Marymoor Dog Park split-rail fence lines are over 20yrs old and deteriorating. In 2024 S.O.D.A. undertook a major project to replace 1,020ft of split rail fencing. A required pre-archeological survey determined that 310ft of this fence line was culturally sensitive and fencing replacement would require monitoring by an archeologist & Indian tribe representative. 34hrs of volunteer labor was utilized to weed-whack tall grass & cut down blackberries to prepare the 1,020ft fence line for Cultural Review. During six work sessions from April through December 2024, S.O.D.A. volunteers donated 227.25hrs of volunteer labor to tear down the 1,020 ft of old fencing and replace it with 190ft of new 3-rail and 830ft of new 2-rail fencing. 310ft of the new split-rail fencing was replaced with archeological monitoring. 3089 0 0 Responsible Dog Ownership Education including signage, flyers, computer, website & email.
