The Cañon City Area Recreation and Park District has received grant funding to improve the Arkansas Riverwalk Dog Park.  This includes adding a small dog park, widening the walking track, improving signage, adding benches and tables, replacing the agility equipment, and adding other dog park equipment. 

In January the Recreation District parks staff will begin installing the small dog park, walking track expansion, and new signage.  The week of February 24th, A to Z Recreation will begin the process of installing the agility equipment and some additional signage.  Due to some savings during our bid process, we might be able to afford adding some boulders for the dogs to climb on as well. 

Once we have specific installation dates, we will announce them on this page.  There might be some periodic closures of the dog park during this process, but our goal is to minimize that disruption.  Any closure will be for safety reasons of our four legged friends.

District crews have packed the crusher fine trail in the large dog park.  There is a chance we will add some additional crusher fines in the wetter areas over the coming weeks.  We have poured the concrete for the small dog park bullpen and are adding the gates.  The week of February 24th we will look to add the agility equipment and some additional signage.       

Closure of Dog Park 

 The next closure is to be determined.  We believe it will happen the week of February 24th.  We hope to let everyone know the week of February 17th.
