The Great Falls dog park will close for several weeks for repairs.
High use at the Pacific Steel & Recycling Trailside Dog Park has caused considerable turf damage, according to a press release.
Starting Monday, May 6, the dog park will be closed to the public.
During the closure, the park will be fertilized, overseeded, and irrigated. It takes about four weeks for the turf to rejuvenate and recover.
The park is tentatively scheduled to reopen on Monday, June 3.
“The park closure is a short term inconvenience with a long term benefit,” Lonnie Dalke, parks manager, said. “We have to remember to look at the big picture and take care of our community amenities, like the dog park. Regular maintenance and repairs like these benefit all of us, including our pets.”
The park opened in July of 2009. It is located at 800 River Drive North.
