Olde Izaak Walton Dog Park to Undergo Maintenance from
February 25 to February 28, 2020
The dog park will be closed to allow replacement of wood chip mulch.
Leesburg, VA (February 19, 2020) – 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 25 to Friday, February 28, 2020. As
a result, the dog park will be closed.
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.
