Moon Township Dog Park

❄️Winter Hours Update ❄️

Wednesday to Sunday - 9 a.m. to Dusk

Our mission with any new public space is to bring everyone together, nurturing our sense of community and we need your help to protect this beautiful new facility.

The Dog park is closed on Monday and Tuesday for general maintenance and “rest and recovery”. The grass is like any other breathing entity that is damaged by foot traffic and waste pressure that occurs when visiting the dog park. By allowing the grass to get two days of rest, we will be able to preserve it for years to come.

As we approach the time of year when we have frosty mornings, the hours of the Dog Park being open will be adjusted. Walking on grass that is frosted over can and more than likely will kill grass. When frost occurs the cells inside the plant are frozen as well, and while adding foot traffic during a frost period will cause those cells to explode ultimately killing the plant.

In terms of the closure of the Dog Park, typically it will remain open unless we are under significant snow cover. However, normal wear and tear of the Dog Park during this time of year can pose threatening challenges for the upcoming Spring.

Why do you ask? The plant and or roots are not taking up any nutrients or water, releasing any gases, or photosynthesizing. It is doing what it knows to survive these seasonal conditions, disregarding the added pressure.

It will more than likely be that the Dog Park will remain open more than it will be announced closed during the winter season. We just wanted to take the opportunity to make you aware of some of the reasoning as to why some events or decisions will transpire in the coming months.

📢Attention Community Members: Saturday November 11th, Beaver Grade Road will be closed until 11AM due to the Harvest Moon Race.

🌳 Dog Park Status:
The Black Dog Wine Company Dog Park at Moon Park will be closed until 11AM, as a result of the road closure on Saturday.
