    • The Echo Lake Dog Park will be temporarily closed starting April 14, 2025, as we begin a necessary re-seeding of the turf. This renovation is part of our continued investment in maintaining a safe and enjoyable space for our community and their furry friends.
    • We anticipate the closure will last 6 to 8 weeks, allowing the new grass to properly take root and grow.
    • Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to keep Echo Lake Dog Park one of the best in the area. Stay tuned to our website and social media for updates on reopening!
