Echo Lake Dog Park To Partially Reopen In Union County

Both the large and small dog park areas will be open in a reduced capacity. Temporary fencing has been installed to section off some areas.

While we know many residents are eager for full access, this limited reopening is necessary to comply with state conservation requirements and allow new grass to continue growing.
