The south All Dog Yard at North Liberty’s Red Fern Dog Park is closed through Friday, April 19th to reinvigorate the turf grass. During this closure, the Small Dog Yard and north All Dog Yard will remain open to Red Fern passholders.
City officials say continual, heavy use of the park makes regrowing grass a challenge. Each year, the North Liberty Parks Department does fall and spring seeding and aerating. This week compost was added to the annual maintenance. The yard could reopen sooner if the new approach does not result in successful groundcover.
North Liberty officials note there are two other public dog parks nearby:
- The City of Tiffin’s Dog Park is located within Jim Bartels Tiffin City Park, 809 E. Marengo Road. Passes are $5.00 per year and can be purchased from Tiffin City Hall.
- The City of Iowa City’s Thornberry Off-Leash Dog Park is located at 1867 Foster Road. Day passes are available for $5.00 per dog. If a staff person is not present at Thornberry to process the day pass, payment envelopes can be found in the dispensers at the dog park entrances.
