Part of Veterans Memorial Park’s dog park — the side for large dogs — will be closed for maintenance for about six weeks starting this week, according to a Department of Public Works official.
The park area, at 91 Bull Hill Lane, will be aerated and seeded with a hardier seed, “which should stand up to the dogs’ wear and tear better,” said Ernie Chiarelli, the department’s project coordinator and sidewalk inspector.
Chiarelli said the area will also be fertilized.
During the maintenance work, both large and small dogs can use the side of the park for small dogs, he said.
Those with questions can call Chiarelli at (203) 937-3527.
