Earlier today Bark for a Park shared information about new hours for the dog park located in Birmingham’s George Ward Park beginning this week.

According to a status update on their Facebook page, the area designated as a dog park late last year will be closed weekly on Wednesday mornings from 7:30-11 a.m.

The purpose of the weekly closings is to that allow them to perform routine maintenance including “mowing, trimming around the fence and areas adjacent to the creek.”

Green Springs Dog Park is currently the only official dog park in the metro Birmingham area, though there are others being considered.

Thanks to DOGingham for the head’s up.
