In an effort to provide better accommodations at the City’s dog parks, Dylan’s Dog Park at SARA Park will be closed from Monday, June 20, 2016 at 5:30 a.m. to Monday, June 27, 2016 at 6:00 a.m. By closing the facility and asking patrons and their pets to use the other dog parks (Avalon Dog Park and Lions Dog Park at London Bridge Beach) during this time, crews will be able to perform non-routine maintenance and allow the turf to recover. In addition, during this closure, crews will be adding dog agility features (concrete pipe) for exercising your pet as a trial project. We appreciate your assistance and patience.

We anticipate closing the Dylan’s Dog Park at SARA Park four (4) times per year, in addition to the Winterblast closure to effect these changes and improve the facility. We anticipate closing the Lions Dog Park at London Bridge Beach three (3) times per year and Avalon Dog Park twice (2) per year, based on less park use. Each closure would be for one week. Tentative dates for this year’s remaining efforts are as follows:

• Dylan’s Dog Park, SARA        06/20/16 to 06/27/16
• Avalon Dog Park                     07/11/16 to 07/18/16
• Dylan’s Dog Park, SARA        08/01/16 to 08/08/16
• Lions Dog Park                       08/15/16 to 08/22/16
• Lions Dog Park                       11/07/16 to 11/14/16
• Dylan’s Dog Park, SARA         11/14/16 to 11/21/16
• Avalon Dog Park                     12/05/16 to 12/12/16
