The Cañon City Area Recreation and Park District has received grant funding to improve the Arkansas Riverwalk Dog Park.  This includes adding a small dog park, widening the walking track, improving signage, adding benches and tables, replacing the agility equipment, and adding other dog park equipment. 

In January the Recreation District parks staff will begin installing the small dog park, walking track expansion, and new signage.  In late February to early March, A to Z Recreation will begin the process of installing the agility equipment and some additional signage.  Due to some savings during our bid process, we might be able to afford adding some boulders for the dogs to climb on as well. 

Once we have specific installation dates, we will announce them on this page.  There might be some periodic closures of the dog park during this process, but our goal is to minimize that disruption.  Any closure will be for safety reasons of our four legged friends.
