And additional, we need the staff to actually do those action.

How much do a dog pack I mean, parks cost roughly, the dog parks?

How much does a dog park?
1:46:00
Roughly.

That I would need to get back to it really varies on where it is, what size it is.
Mercedes Narcisse
1:46:07
The smallest one that we can let's start with the smallest one.
Susan Donoghue
1:46:10
I don't know that I have an average price.
Mercedes Narcisse
1:46:13
Because I have two, I have Marine Park, Garrison Beach, and of course Conyers, they ask me for dog parks.
Susan Donoghue
1:46:18
I'm happy to get back to you and let you know, but I don't think we have offhand what the average price is.
Mercedes Narcisse
1:46:22
Alright, so you gotta get back to me with the money because they have three different places to ask me.

We certainly can, I'll just add that it is a substantial construction project like any other capital project, like a full park playground renovation.
1:46:35
But we've seen prices that range from $500,000 on the lower end to, in some cases, if it's large enough and if there are connections in terms of water connections or what have you, we've seen prices certainly higher than that depending on the footprint and the site conditions as the commissioner noted.
1:46:49
But on the lower end, we've seen projects advance for around $500,000
Susan Donoghue
1:46:55
But we'll get back to you with specifics.
Mercedes Narcisse
1:46:57
Yeah.
