Stagecoach Community Center Celebrates Inclusivity and Athleticism Stagecoach Community Center recently hosted Goalball, an engaging sport played exclusively by athletes who are blind or visually impaired. Created in 1946 to aid the rehabilitation of WWII veterans, Goalball has since become a Paralympic sport, making its debut at the 1976 Toronto Games. This was a great opportunity to celebrate inclusivity and athleticism within our community.

Teens Tidy Up for Earth Day On April 22, 2025, in celebration of Earth Day, our Leadership in Training and Education (L.I.T.E.) program participants rolled up their sleeves for a park clean-up at the Pine Avenue Community Park.

May 19, 2025 Item #1 3 of 9 PARKS Dogs in the City and Enforcement At the conclusion of the City Council meeting on Nov. 19, 2024, the City Council approved a motion “directing the City Manager to return to the City Council on a future agenda with a discussion item related to leashed and unleashed dogs in the city and where enforcement occurs.” On March 18, 2025, the City Council received an informational staff report on leashed and unleashed dogs in the city and where enforcement occurs. Referenced as an exhibit to the report was a City Council memorandum, titled ‘Dogs in Parks – History of Prohibition and Study of Allowance’ and dated March 17, 2022. That memorandum was drafted in response to comments from community members and included research on not only the history of the prohibition and a study of an allowance, but information on how surrounding cities regulate dogs at public places. At the conclusion of the City Council Meeting on March 18, 2025, the City Council approved a minute motion “directing staff to return with changes to enforcement to not allow dogs in the playground areas, sports fields or organized programs and special events in the parks, dogs must be leashed and owners must clean up after their dogs, and to include a cost analysis.” Staff is currently reviewing the necessary amendments to the municipal code and assessing the related city properties to develop an updated estimate of one-time improvement costs (e.g., regulatory signage, dog waste bag dispensers, etc.), and ongoing maintenance impact costs (e.g., servicing of dog waste bag stations, overseeding turf and replanting of shrubs and ground covers, etc.)A City Council Meeting date for this agenda item has not yet been determined. At the conclusion of the City Council Meeting on March 18, 2025, the City Council also approved a minute motion “directing staff to investigate spaces in the City of Carlsbad for the potential of dog parks citywide.” Staff has begun reviewing selective city properties for potential dog parks and accounting for service area coverages. A City Council Meeting date for this agenda item has not yet been determined. Welcome Roger Havlak, Parks Superintendent Roger Havlak has joined the city as our Parks Superintendent.

May 19, 2025 Item #1 4 of 9 Arbor Week Activities On April 26, 2025, the city hosted its annual National Arbor Day event. More than 60 volunteers, city staff, California Conservation Corps members, and four local vendors participated in the event at Stagecoach Community Park. The event began with a brief overview of National Arbor Day, the designation as a Tree City USA, and the importance of trees within our natural ecosystem. A review of the event’s tree species, the tree planting plan and the importance of planting the right tree in the right place was also included. A tree planting demonstration was then performed by city staff to show proper techniques. Subsequently, the volunteers, with assistance from city staff, planted 25 trees throughout the mid-section of the park. Carlsbad has held the designation as a Tree City USA, by the Arbor Day Foundation, for the past 21 years. To maintain this status, this city must have a tree board or department responsible for tree care, a public tree care ordinance, a community forestry program with an annual budget of at least $2 per capita, and celebrate Arbor Day with a proclamation/event. On April 22, 2025, the Carlsbad City Council proclaimed the week of April 20-26 as Arbor Week. Recent Trails Volunteers Events On March 19, 2025, the city hosted a trail maintenance volunteers event at the Harbor Drive Trail. The mid-week event included a team of 16 volunteers and Parks & Recreation staff who worked to remove trash and debris, fill ruts on the trail with decomposed granite and create water bars to divert water off of the trail. The educational component of the event included a presentation by the Aqua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation staff with insights into conservation efforts and helping volunteers connect their hands-on work with the broader ecological goals within the area On May 10, 2025, the city hosted a trail maintenance volunteers event at the Coastal Rail Trail near Carlsbad Village. More than 20 volunteers and staff pitched in to remove invasives species of plants along the trail, planter mulching, painting of a wall at the Tamarack trailhead and general litter and debris removal.
