WINTER PARK — The city’s Parks & Recreation Commission will hold a public meeting at 5 p.m. Thursday (Oct. 16) in City Hall Commission Chambers, 401 S. Park Ave. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss the possibility of charging admission fees to those who use the off-leash area of the city’s popular dog park, Fleet Peeples Park. The revenues generated from members of the proposed “Canine Club” would be reinvested back into the park for improvements as shown on the Fleet Peeples Park Master Plan. Annual passes and day passes would be available. Fleet Peeples Park covers 23.16 acres on Lake Baldwin and was named after a city resident and well-known swimming instructor, Mr. Fleet Peeples. The park offers two reservable pavilions, a boat ramp for boats with no gas engines, a sandy beach, picnic tables and restrooms. Admission to the park is free while the proposed paid admission would apply only to the area of the park that is designated where dogs may run off-leash during specific posted hours. If you are interested in sharing your comments and/or have any questions regarding this proposed fee, please make plans to attend the public meeting. If you are unable to attend, you can share your comments via e-mail at parktalk@cityofwinterpark.org.
