If weather and conditions permit, the park is open. It may be closed for maintenance, or if the grounds are too wet.

The post-construction dog park supplies and amenities such as poop bags, agility elements, shade canopies, benches, etc. will be funded by donations and fundraisers. The Ad-hoc Committee, in partnership with the parks and recreation department, developed a management plan for rules and on-going maintenance of the park.
