Paintball Park Survey
The District is soliciting feedback from the community regarding how you feel about a potential paintball park at the Sun Valley Community Park. Please participate in our survey, which is available in the office and under the ‘Survey’ tab on the District website www. svgid.com
Dog Stations
In an effort to keep our parks clean and safe for everyone to use, SVGID has begun installing dog stations at our parks. The dog stations will be placed at all park sites to encourage dog owners to pick up after their pets. The parks are here for all to use and enjoy. Kids and adults who use the grass areas for recreation should not have to worry about coming in contact with dog feces because someone has chosen not to pick up after their dogs. Pet waste can causes illness to people and other pets. Please be responsible pet owners by using the Mutt Mitts provided at the dog stations and assist us in keeping the parks clean and sanitary for all users. Dogs are not allowed on sports fields.
