The document discusses ways that multifamily communities can offer amenities for resident pets in urban areas with limited space. It suggests using rooftop spaces to create dog parks with views. Rooftop dog parks have been featured in Washington D.C. communities and provide a unique community space. The document also discusses converting unused parking garage space and repurposing sports courts as dog parks, as well as adding pet wash stations and other amenities to attract resident pet owners.

when people think of dog
parks, they might envision
acres of open fields for run-
ning, ball throwing, dog
agility and other activities.
But how can multifamily communities offer
the same conveniences for residents and their
pets in an urban environment where available
space is often at a premium? From finding
resourceful (think rooftop) bark park locations
to other amenities such as convenient pet
wash stations and custom branded products,
there are many ways to make the most of every
pet-friendly community.
As an owner or manager, opting for a pet-
centric approach is a worthwhile investment. A
recent survey by RadPad determined that of
over 20,000 millennials noted, nearly 40 per-
cent of them are renting and nearly 60 percent
of them own pets. Millennials also place a high-
er value on perks such as pet-friendliness over
other considerations such as location and hav-
ing a larger living space. Another survey by
Petfinder found that pet-friendly apartment
homes see higher profitability due to pet rents
and other fees, along with a lower percentage
of resident turnover and fewer marketing dol-
lars spent on advertising as pet-friendly units
rent very quickly.
InWashington D.C., City Market at O Street
and Park Chelsea at the Collective have put an
emphasis on truly welcoming pets, and both
communities have been featured in the
Washington Post andWall Street Journal.What
do they have in common other than loving
their four-legged residents? They both have
unique rooftop parks that allow everyone,
human and dog, to appreciate 360 degree
views of the nation’s capital.
Whereas rooftop terraces were once over-
looked, with dog parks becoming somewhat of
a norm or a standard to pet owners, they are
now seen as a unique community space with
the ability to host a wide range of amenities.
From communal grilling and cooking areas, to
swimming pools, courtyards and, of course,
room to run for Fido. City Market at O Street
features both large and small dog areas, agility
equipment, fun spray hydrants to help keep
pups cool during the humid summer months
and custom fence portholes in the small dog
section so the little ones can safely enjoy the
scenery as well. For pooches in need of a little
pampering and TLC, they also provide compli-
mentary dog grooming stations for their resi-
dents. Another perk? Security. If a resident’s
pooch needs to use the facilities late at night,
it’s much safer heading up to the private roof
than relieving their pets down on the street.
Park Chelsea at the Collective, a 429-unit lux-
ury building, chose dog play components with
custom portable bases to provide flexibility.
This allows their residents to rearrange the
agility course for added challenge and for man-
agement to stow the equipment for “Yappy
Hours” if they might need the extra room.
From an event planning perspective, this
allows the exercise area to transform into a
gathering space in a pinch. Hosting resident
events fosters a true sense of community,
which can be further developed by partnering
with a local dog trainer for an obedience
refresher course, a humane society or rescue
organization for an adoption event or by rent-
ing out the park for private parties.
Another example of this is featured at
Hartford 21, a Northland community in
Hartford, Connecticut, which noticed a small
section of its parking garage was underutilized
and would make an ideal park. They converted
this dead space into an 800-square foot pet
play area with the benefit of year-round access
and enjoyment due to its protection from the
elements. The H21 Bark Lounge has some
must-have dog park furnishings, including
cheerful dog-themed silhouettes to spruce up
the fence and a pet wash station. The Hartford
21’s Property Manager Matt Alexander says,
“We have a loyal following of about 20 residents
who use the park daily.We show the park and
washing stations on our leasing tours to illus-
trate that our community is very pet friendly.
We also installed an infrared, electric heater so
residents can use the space in the winter and
mingle with fellow residents.”
The H21 Bark Lounge also features turf pods
– a modular turf system that offers the benefits
of easy disassembly for cleaning underneath
and the ability to rotate the sections so they
wear evenly with use. These pods are ideal for
both indoor and outdoor hard surface applica-
tions, and they don’t require professional
installation so you can maximize your budget
in other areas.
Repurposing tennis or basketball courts is
something to consider as well. Since pet
guardians need to exercise and relieve their
dogs regardless of weather conditions, dog
parks typically see much more use than sport
courts, which lend themselves to more “fair
weather” types of activities. From a budgeting
perspective, fencing is often one of the largest
expenses when planning a dog park, so devel-
oping an area that is already secured makes it
an attractive and cost-effective investment.
Pet wash stations are another value-added
amenity, and are quickly becoming a must
have for pet owners. Having a dedicated dog
spa also helps prevent residents from bathing
their best friend in either the bathtub or sink,
both of which can lead to costly plumbing
repairs for clogged drains. An indoor or out-
door professional grade grooming tub can
range from $2,500 to $4000 and should come
fully stocked with the plumbing kit containing
the spray head, heavy duty hose, a drain trap,
along with a floor grate to keep paws out of the
soapy water. Another affordable option are out-
door wash stations; these can be as simple as a
stainless-steel pedestal with a metered hose
attachment and leash hook or a dual function
unit offering both a pet fountain and hose bibb
for washing. They have a small footprint, but a
big impact.
Lastly, no pet-friendly community is com-
plete without a fire hydrant. They’re cute, yes,
but they’re also practical. Installed in the dog
park itself or near a tree or plant that is current-
ly being “watered” to death by enthusiastic
canines, they can help save your landscaping.
To really set your community apart, look for
hydrants that can be personalized with your
logo or with a custom color to complement the
unique look of your property.
Compared to other amenities, pet-centric
updates don’t require much open space nor
large budgets. A recent study by NAA noted
that as far as community revenue influencers
are concerned, being pet-friendly made the top
of the list and offered the most bang for your
buck. Adding a few select conveniences can
make all the difference for potential and exist-
ing residents, and help set your community
apart as being truly pet-friendly.
