Just as a heads up! While the rain might be a bit of a deterrent for most people, there will be a crew on site at the dog park starting today (if it stops raining) and for the next couple days at the dog park.

A contractor is installing a fence across the lower area where the second entrance is to have more versatility with anxious dogs or smaller dogs so they can have their own space while still being at the park.
