To determine the percentage of Hill Point residents surveyed who want a new dog park, we need to look at the relevant information in the table.

1. Identify the fraction of Hill Point residents who prefer a new dog park. According to the table, this value is 0.17.

2. To convert this fraction to a percentage, we multiply it by 100 (since 1 equals 100%).

[tex]\[ 0.17 \times 100 = 17.0 \][/tex]

Therefore, the percentage of Hill Point residents surveyed who want a new dog park is \( 17\% \).

Thus, the correct answer is:
D. [tex]\( 17 \% \)[/tex]
