Armitage Dog Park Reopens Following Safety And Accessibility Improvements Funded By Parks Levy - 06/15/26

Lane County Parks invites community members to celebrate the reopening of the Armitage Dog Park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, June 17, at 2:00 p.m. at Armitage Park.

As of Saturday, June 13, the dog park reopened following the completion of significant safety and accessibility improvements funded through the Lane County Parks Levy. The project was designed to enhance the experience for visitors and their pets while improving accessibility and traffic circulation throughout the site.

Completed improvements include:

• A new, separate entrance that eliminates the need for other park traffic to travel through the dog park area
• Covered pavilions for shade and shelter
• ADA-accessible pathways
• New lighting
• Improved parking and site circulation

“These improvements make the dog park safer, more accessible, and more welcoming for everyone who uses it,” said Lane County Parks Manager Brett Henry. “We are grateful to voters for supporting the Parks levy, which makes projects like this possible and helps us continue investing in community spaces that improve quality of life throughout Lane County.”
