Area residents will have to wait again and for a bit longer for the one-of-a-kind Dunmoore Dog Park in Pickering to be reopened.
Since the end of July, the city has been announcing issues with the installation of new lighting forcing closure extension after extension.
On July 24, the City of Pickering advised area residents that the closure of the Dunmoore Dog Park had been extended due to an unexpected manufacture delay.
“The entirety of the Dog Park will be temporarily closed in Dunmoore Park for the installation of new lighting. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to reopen the park as soon as possible,” said the city.
It projected works to be completed between August 11 to August 28.
On August 13, it sent out another notice of extension, and on August 27, said the entirety of the dog park will be temporarily closed for the installation of new lighting.
The new projected dates were from Friday August 28th to Friday, September 18th.
“Please be advised that the closure of the Dunmoore Dog Park has been extended due to an unexpected manufacture delay. Construction works are set resume the week of August 31. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to reopen the park as soon as possible, the city said.
Canine Activity Area
The two Dunmoore Park leash free areas are fully fenced; one for small dogs and another for all dogs, big and small. The larger leash free area also has a sand pit and a Canine Activity Area for all dogs to enjoy.
The park is home to the GTA’s (and maybe all of Ontario’s) only Canine Activity Area, which comprises 10 individual stations where dogs and owners are given simple but fun challenges to complete together, the city said.
The park is located on Whites Road South in Pickering.
