Note: The following news release is from Lower Saucon Township.
Lower Saucon Township installed a new sign at the entrance to the dog park at Polk Valley Park that will let dog park visitors know whether the park is open or closed.
Opened in 2009, the 1+ acre park, which is open from dawn to dusk, features separate areas for small and large dogs, landscaping and seating for dog owners. Weather conditions and routine maintenance require closures of the popular facility from time to time, which are posted on the township’s website. However, visitors arriving at Polk Valley Park with their dogs had to park and walk over to the Dog Park to see if it was open or closed.
The new sign, which was unveiled by Council President Ron Horiszny on Dec. 15, 2014, will display the open/closed status of the facility to visitors as they drive into the park.
