Livermore Area Recreation and Park District has closed facilities and suspended programs in response to the Alameda County Public Health Department order issued on March 16, 2020, but we want you to know - our dog parks are still OPEN! Parks and open spaces are essential to the enhancement of life in Livermore for everyone including our furry friends! While we are staying away from many activities and public places, parks and open spaces provide access to nature, fresh air, sunshine, and enough room for dogs to move around in and have fun! We invite you to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors with your "fur family" during this time while staying a healthy distance (six feet or more) from others. You may experience have reduced service levels due to employee restrictions based on the public health order so please embody a "pack-in, pack-out" mind set to help us keep our outdoor play spaces clean and safe. It would also be helpful if you could bring your own "mutt mitt" during this time.Thank you and stay healthy.
