Turf Replacement Project for the Big Dog Side of Spruill Dog Park to Begin May 8

The volume of dogs that enjoy the big dog section of Spruill Dog Park has worn out the grass, so the Parks and Recreation Department will be starting a turf replacement project on May 8. The first phase of the project is to re-sod the southern half of the big dog side of the park. From May 8 through May 30, the main gate to the big dog side of the park will be closed. There will be a temporary entrance available on the north side of the park so residents can still access the northern half of the big dog park (see map above). Since the water fountains are located in the area being re-sodded first, there will not be water available during this three-week window.

Weather permitting, work will switch to the northern half of the big dog section the week of June 12 and will take approximately three weeks to complete. When phase two begins, the main gate will be reopened and the water fountains will be available.

The small dog section of the dog park will not be impacted by this project and will remain open. 

We appreciate your patience as we work to maintain this beloved community amenity.
