The Parks and Recreation Department wants the public to be aware of a project at the Noble Park Dog Parks. On Monday, September 22, crews will begin adding concrete sidewalks inside the dog enclosures. These sidewalks will improve accessibility to the two shelter structures. The concrete work is expected to take approximately one week. Both dog park enclosure areas will remain open during the project; however, visitors and their dogs should avoid the areas where crews are working.
This sidewalk project follows other dog park improvements this year including the installation of water spigots and grading work to improve the drainage.
