Olde Izaak Walton Dog Park to Undergo Maintenance from
February 5 to February 8, 2019
The dog park will be closed to allow replacement of wood chip mulch.
Leesburg, VA (January 30, 2019) – The Town
of Leesburg Parks and Recreation
Department, with support from the
Department of Public Works, will be
performing annual maintenance inside the
Olde Izaak Walton Dog Park from Tuesday,
February 5 to Thursday, February 7. As a
result, the dog park will be closed and reopen
on Friday, February 8.
Maintenance will include the removal of the
existing wood chip mulch which will be
replaced with a new layer. The decomposition of the existing mulch causes the surfacing to
become saturated after a period of time and can often lead to drainage concerns. Applying new
mulch will create a more stable, well drained surface throughout the season.
