Due to resident requests over recent years, a dog park was included in the Poinsettia Community Park Master Plan. Staff originally planned the dog park in the southwest portion of the park. When the community expressed concern with the proposed location, city staff requested input on another possible location for a dog park at Poinsettia Community Park. The community overwhelmingly supported a dog park just south of the main entrance from Hidden Valley Road, where a multigenerational community center was previously proposed. In February 2018 the City Council approved staff's recommendation to pursue plans to place the dog park at the alternate location.
