Hurst Dog Park

06/15/2022

Dog park is closed today June 15th.

On June 15, contractors are onsite at the Hurst Dog Park to perform preventative landscape maintenance to mitigate the spread of Sudden Oak Death or Phytophthora ramorum. Phytophthora species are related to algae, and most species are soil-swelling root pathogens. It spreads naturally in water and through the root systems of trees. The best way to prevent spread is to create a barrier between infected and non-infected areas and remove infected trees once diagnosed. This spring, Parks staff, and a certified arborist identified and removed three infected trees that were beyond saving. As part of the next phase of the plan, the City’s arborist will apply a preventative treatment to the entire dog park area on June 15. The Dog Park is closed this day and will reopen on June 16 at its regularly scheduled time. Please call 817.788.7222 with any questions or concerns.

New benches!!

During March, the middle run will close for monthly maintenance. The south run will remain open for dogs of all sizes, and the north run is open to small dogs.

GOOD NEWS 🥳 the additional park benches arrived! Parks staff installed most of the benches, including one in the far back of each south and middle run.

Help us keep YOUR dog park open! As the P**p Fairy isn’t available, humans should pick up after their dog and dispose of the bags in the cans provided. Dog waste doesn’t biodegrade like wild animal waste and can create a toxic environment for dogs. We appreciate everyone’s assistance in keeping the Hurst Dog Park clean and safe for all users. Questions? Call 817.788.7325, option 2.

During February, the north run will close for monthly maintenance. The middle run will remain open for dogs of all sizes, and the south run is open to small dogs.

Help us keep YOUR dog park open! Parks staff repaired numerous holes in the runs. Digging is not allowed as it presents a safety hazard for dogs and humans. Plus, it makes the park look neglected. Please remain vigilant with your dog at all times. If you notice digging, please fill in the hole before leaving. As the P**p Fairy isn’t available, humans should pick up after their dog and dispose of the bags in the cans provided.

The Bedford Animal Shelter is currently closed to the public and is not accepting any owner surrenders for a minimum of 10 days. Yesterday, Animal Services staff took a dog to the vet. After showing symptoms yesterday and this morning, the dog was tested at the shelter and diagnosed with Parvovirus. Parvo is extremely contagious and can be deadly to dogs. The Animal Shelter staff is going through its Parvo protocol, sanitizing the shelter and treating the lawn, when they are able to due to the wet conditions. All of the current adoptable dogs are being monitored and will be taken to the vet if they show any symptoms. If additional animals show symptoms, the shelter will remain in parvovirus protocol for additional days.
