Your weekly update from the City of Redmond.

Visit Redmond's First Pop-Up Dog Park

The City has opened its first pop-up dog park at Luke McRedmond Park in Downtown Redmond in response to the growing demand for spaces for pets (and their owners) to exercise and socialize with others. The off-leash area is fenced, has a small and large dog area, and will receive regular maintenance and trash pickup. The park is open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week, and will remain open through September.

Whether you are at the dog park, on the trails, or elsewhere, do your part to keep Redmond clean by picking up after your pet in three easy steps.

1. Pick up your pet's waste
2. Bag it
3. Put it in the trash

Pet waste contains harmful bacteria such as E. coli and salmonella.

Redmond City Councilmembers invite you to watch Council meetings, which are now streaming on YouTube under the live tab, on Redmond.gov/RCTVlive, Facebook Live, or by attending in person at Redmond City Hall.
