Dahlias don't come true from seed - so you will need to buy in some tubers and split/take cuttings from them.
It's out of season now but you can could have bought them as jumbo plugs from J Parker's?

They may leave in the ground at your park? It's often the case that it's cheaper to buy in new than pay for someone to dig up and store? It may be worth asking if they would give you a couple of tubers when they dig up in the Autumn? Or even better, if they don't dig them up - ask if you can have more than a couple?
