Pooch Park renovations are complete but city staff will continue to monitor the turf to be sure it is properly established prior to the park’s opening.

Use of the park prior to letting the grass settle will delay its official opening, the city warned. Residents are asked to refrain from visiting the park until its opening later this month.

During the closure, residents may visit other pet-friendly Claremont parks, including the Claremont Hills Wilderness Park, Thompson Creek Trail, Lewis Park walking trail and Rancho San Jose Park. Or residents may visit dog parks in adjacent cities, such as San Dimas, Upland, Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga.
