 DOG POND AT SPRING CANYON PARK: Monday, October 12 - The dog pond at Spring Canyon Park is closed for the season.
Dog Park Improvements May 2009
The dog park pond was drained last September in preparation for needed improvements. during the next several weeks, the bottom of the pond will be lined with gravel, and rocks and landscape plants will be placed on the bank of the pond to cover the exposed soil. These improvements should help the overall water quality of the pond, making the water clearer. Our goal is to have the pond reopen by the middle of June. We appreciate your patience as we work to make the pond more functional with better water quality for the 2009 summer season. We’ll post information for public review on the planned improvements at this location as the plan develops. For additional information, please contact Craig Foreman at (970) 221-6618.
The dog park is located at the west end of Horsetooth Road, in the undeveloped Spring Canyon Community Park along Spring Creek. The site is a fenced 2-3 acre area where dogs are permitted to run without leashes. All regulations are posted at the site, including all animal feces are to be picked up by the dog handlers. Bags and trash cans are provided.
This popular park was developed in cooperation with the Larimer County Humane Society and gives dog owners a chance to exercise their dogs legally off leash. Recent additions include a fenced in area for small and shy dogs and a water fountain for you and your pet.
