Program accomplishments
- PARK OPERATIONAL EXPENSES: Marymoor Dog Park is a 40 acre off-leash dog area located within Marymoor Park of the King County Park System. An estimated 1,000,000 plus visitations from citizens throughout King County were made to Marymoor Dog Park in 2025. In Dec 2025, S.O.D.A. entered into a new 5 year Maintenance and Operations contract with King County that expires in 2030. Approximately 75,000 Marymoor Dog Park users benefited from these operational activities carried out by S.O.D.A. in 2025. 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.Expenses $17,195
- PARK MAINTENANCE: River Road Trail Resurfacing: The approximate 3/4 mile River Road Trail that was originally graveled as part of the 1998 River Restoration Project had not been resurfaced by Parks since Dec 2012 and was eroded and degraded with large puddle wash outs. In Feb 2025, S.O.D.A. partnered with Marymoor Park Maintenance to have the River Road Trail resurfaced. S.O.D.A. purchased the 652.9 tons of 5/8" minus gravel ($17, 823) and the King County Parks Road Crew did the grating, graveling and rolling to restore the River Road Trail back to good condition. Fix Eroded River Road Trail Culvert: The sides of the ditch containing the drainage culvert running under the River Road Trail had eroded drastically since the 1998 River Restoration Project. In conjunction with resurfacing the River Road Trail in Feb 2025, S.O.D.A. partnered with Marymoor Park Maintenance to repair the damage. S.O.D.A. paid for the 107.17 tons of 1-1//4" minus rock and 11.51 tons of 3 man rock ($4,054) and the King County Parks Crew filled-in and built up the sides of the ditch containing the culvert. Trail Resurfacing: S.O.D.A. resurfaced the Dog Park's over 25,000ft of trails with "hog fuel" (cedar bark/sawdust). Over 250 volunteers, to include 30 youth, participated by donating 787.5hrs of pitchforking, wheel-barrowing and raking labor to resurface & prepare the trails for the winter wet season. Field & Trail Closures & Repairs: In 2025, the Dog Park once again experienced flooding caused by heavy rain, ditches overflowing and the Sammamish River rising. Volunteers spent 93hrs installing, moving and removing temporary fencing to close the flooded areas, repairing damaged trails, sanding mud areas, and restoring flooded fields by seeding and spreading straw on the damaged areas. Invasive Weed Control: 1116.5hrs of volunteer labor was directed to digging, pulling & cutting invasive weeds. Beach Repairs: During the rainy season, the swift flow of the Sammamish River causes the wash-outs and damage the the Marymoor Dog Park beach accesses. In 2025, S.O.D.A. volunteers donated 28hrs of volunteer time to repair the river access beaches. 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 2025. Volunteers donated 29.75hrs 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 250hrs keeping Marymoor Dog Park clean by doing "poop" & litter pick-up. General maintenance of 713.25rs 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.Expenses $66,587
- PARK IMPROVEMENTS: Split-Rail Fencing: In 2015 S.O.D.A. began replacing the Marymoor Dog Park split-rail fencing which was old and deteriorating. In 2025, S.O.D.A. finished this project by replacing the final 180ft of split-rail fencing stretching from Dog-On-It Bridge to and across Dog Leg Bridge with 53.75 hours of volunteer labor. New Trash Cans: S.O.D.A. replaced 30ea old, rusted-out Marymoor Dog Park trash cans with new 32 gallon heavy duty galvanized trash cans with dome lids.Expenses $11,564
