Partial Reopening of Echo Lake Dog Park – Thursday, July 10
The Union County Board of County Commissioners and the Union County Parks Department anticipate a partial reopening of the Echo Lake Dog Park onThursday, July 10, 2025. While we know many residents are eager for full access, this limited reopening is necessary to comply with state conservation requirements and allow new grass to continue growing.
Both the large and small dog park areas will be open in a reduced capacity. Temporary fencing has been installed to section off areas still under restoration.
Please be aware of the following temporary conditions:
• 🐶 Entrances have changed — please follow on-site signage to access each area.
• 🚫 ADA accessibility to the large dog area is currently unavailable during this phase.
• 🚱 No water source is available in the large dog area — please bring your own water for your pets.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we continue making progress toward a full reopening.
