Annual Dog Park Maintenance to Begin January 31
The park will be closed for four days to allow replacement of wood chip mulch.
Leesburg, VA (January 30, 2023) – 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 beginning
Tuesday, January 31. The dog park is
scheduled to reopen on Friday, February 3.
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.
Anyone with questions is asked to email Parks Superintendent Jon Cleaves at
jcleaves@leesburgva.gov.
