Queen Creek’s Pocket Park for Pups is a heavily used and popular facility. The heavy use has a cumulative effect on the site; specifically on the ability for turf to grow. The closure will allow staff to recondition the soil and conduct deep watering, giving the roots time to strengthen and grow deeper into the soil. Deeper, healthier roots promote turf growth even with heavy use.

Remember to keep your dog on a leash from your vehicle until you are inside the dog park (and anytime you are in a public space other than the designated dog park).
