Bark Park Partially Closed Starting Monday

CALABASAS, CA — Bark Park will partially close Monday and remain closed through April to protect the park's turf.

Only the turf side of the park on Las Virgenes will close, according to the city of Calabasas. The remainder of the park will remain open.

The closure occurs every year to protect the park's turf during the dormant winter months, according to the city. A closure helps avoid re-landscaping every year.

Bark Park is located at 4232 Las Virgenes Rd. Bark Park is open from sunrise to 9 p.m. daily and closed Thursdays from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. for maintenance. The park includes areas for large and small dogs, a doggie drinking fountain, portable restroom, pooper scoopers and a trailhead to Bark Park Trail.
