Woodglen Vista Dog Park to Close for Maintenance

The 1-acre off-leash dog area at Woodglen Vista Park will close for six weeks on Nov. 7 to allow public service workers to aerate the turf and re-seed the area with winter grass. It will reopen on Dec. 19.
During the closure, pet owners who enjoy off-leash activity will be able use the Woodglen Vista Park baseball field or the fenced dog park at Mast Park. Dog park hours at both locations are dawn to dusk.

“As any dog owner knows, dogs are tough on grass,” said Community Service Director Bill Maertz. “ But that beautiful green lawn is what makes this park so special. So we’re going to close it for maintenance to keep it that way.”

The Woodglen Vista Dog Park, which was previously closed for maintenance in June, is one of the rare off-leash dog parks in the county with a turf surface.
