Dog Park in Silver Spring Closes Tuesday for Renovations

Montgomery Parks will close the Ellsworth Dog Park Tuesday for repairs. Work is scheduled to begin March 11 and should be complete by the end of the month.

The dog park is located in Silver Spring at the corner of Ellsworth and Colesville Road in the Ellsworth Urban Park. This is one of the dog parks in the Montgomery Parks system.

Montgomery Parks staff will be replacing the mulch in the park.

The Ellsworth Dog Park opened June 15, 2016 and was the first dog park of its kind in Montgomery County within walking distance of an urban area. MyMCMedia’s Phyllis Armstrong reported on the opening in “New Ellsworth Dog Park Delights Owners and Pets“.
