Lacombe Lake Dog Park
Lacombe Lake Dog Park is a capital project that has
been approved by City Council. In order to design the park that best meets the
needs of the dog park users and other users of the park, a volunteer advisory
committee was struck to provide design advice to City administration. This
committee will recommend a design for the park utilizing design criteria developed in conjunction with the City.
