Pooch Park Temporary Closure in April
The Pooch Park is temporarily closed through Thursday, May 1 for biannual turf maintenance. This yearly scheduled maintenance is to ensure the turf remains healthy.
The City’s landscape contractor will remove weed grasses and aerate the turf. Aeration is the process of coring holes into the turf so oxygen, water, and nutrients can penetrate the soil. It also breaks up soil that has become compacted and hardened due to heavy use. These routine maintenance activities allow for the turf to remain healthy and vibrant during the warmer months.
During the closure, residents may visit other Claremont parks that are pet friendly, which include the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park, Thompson Creek Trail, and Rancho San Jose Park. Residents may also visit pooch parks in adjacent cities, such as San Dimas, Upland, Ontario, and Rancho Cucamonga.
