The first phase will also feature drinking fountains for both humans and dogs, waste bag dispensers and trash bins.

The second phase will include parking access from the new Balch Road extension, a pavilion, benches, water feature for dogs to play in, a dog-washing station, an obstacle course and an area designed for toy or tiny breeds.
