EAST LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – In a sure sign the warmer weather is fading away, an East Lansing dog park is preparing to close for the season.
The City of East Lansing’s Northern Tail Dog Park, located at 6400 Abbot Road, will close for the winter season on Friday, Nov. 29, 2024.
The park closes ahead of each winter to prevent wear and tear on the park grounds. The city says that in the past, significant damage has occurred at the dog park due to use during ‘freeze-thaw’ periods when the soil is wet and muddy.
Constructed in 2007, the Northern Trail Dog Park features over two acres of fenced, double-gated natural area for off-leash play. There is also a 5,625-square-foot area for dogs weighing under 22 pounds.
Other parks that are now closed for the winter season include:
- East Lansing Soccer Complex
- 3700 Coleman Road;
- East Lansing Softball Complex
- 6408 Abbot Road;
- East Lansing Family Aquatic Center
- 6400 Abbot Road;
- all restrooms in City parks
There will be signs at the Northern Trail Dog Park to notify dogs and their humans of the seasonal closure.
