Dog Park Grass Needs A Break

In an effort to promote greener and healthier grass, the city intends to close the leash-free fenced dog park at Woodglen Vista Park for a week from Aug. 1 -7.

Dog handlers and their pets will be allowed to use the baseball field east of the fenced dog park.  Signs will be posted advising park users about the temporary relocation of the leash-free zone.

“We need to give the grass a break so we can perform maintenance and prevent the dog park from turning brown,” said Community Services Director Bill Maertz. 

During the closure, city maintenance crews will aerate and seed the turf to promote a more green and robust lawn.
