Temporary Optimist Dog Park Closure

City Press Releases Posted on May 01, 2025

OPTIMIST DOG PARK CLOSURE

Laramie, Wyoming -    Due to required annual maintenance, the east turf area of Optimist Dog Park will be closed between May 1, 2025, and May 31, 2025.  Parks Division staff will be aerating, over-seeding weak turf and reworking areas that have been holding water within the Optimist Dog Park. The dog park will remain closed until the seed germinates and foot traffic will no longer damage the young sprouts.  Staff will inspect the dog park daily and make recommendations for re-opening the Dog Park as soon as possible. Upon reopening staff will utilize mobile barricades, directing patrons around the newly seeded areas until the grass has firmly established. 

During this time, dog lovers can still use the newly expanded Optimist Dog Park west section and are also encouraged to utilize the Aragon Dog Park or the off-leash area at Depot Park.  Thank you for your understanding.

No matter where you spend time with your dog, the City of Laramie would like to remind everyone to pick up after your dog leaving a clean area for everyone to enjoy.
