Dog parks across the region will be reopening this week.
In late November, several dog parks in the Quad Cities area closed due to increasing health concerns surrounding the spread of an infectious respiratory disease in dogs.
The Bettendorf Dog Park Alliance consulted with local veterinarians who said there was a limited number of cases throughout the month of December in Iowa and Illinois and the spread has slowed.
Parks and Recreation departments in the Quad Cities have reevaluated their closures and will reopen their dog parks on Friday, Jan. 5, and Saturday, Jan. 6.
Crow Creek Dog Park, 4701 Devils Glen Road, Bettendorf, will reopen on Friday.
These parks will reopen on Saturday:
- Centennial Dog Park, 315 S. Marquette St., Davenport.
- Robin Creek Dog Park, 4411 N. Marquette St., Davenport.
- Butterworth Dog Park, 15th Street and 8th Avenue, Moline.
- Greenvalley Dog Park, 6009 50th Ave., Moline.
- Eleanor Wallace Dog Park – 28th Street and 78th Avenue West, Rock Island.
As a reminder, dog park users must follow all posted dog park rules – including making sure their dogs are up to date on vaccinations and staying home if their dogs show signs of illness.
