The City of Sevierville Department of Parks and Recreation announces that the large dog area of Sevierville’s Unleashed Dog Park, located at City Park, will be closed on Thursday and Friday November 29 and 30.

If the closure needs to continue after November 30, the estimated reopening date will be posted on the Sevierville Parks and Recreation Facebook page and website.

The Department is also announcing that proposed improvements and changes, including a new area for shy dogs and a covered shelter in the shy/large dog areas will be delayed to allow City staff to further consider ADA requirements and guidelines. Revised estimated dates for improvements will be released when available.

In the large dog area, tree work is needed that will necessitate some short term closures over the next two-three weeks. The closures will be short in duration.
In the small dog area, a dog silhouette has been installed to provide a general guide showing what is considered a small dog. Users will be required to follow the guideline, however the silhouette is only a representation of what constitutes a small dog in most cases. Users will need to consider the guideline and their particular dog to make a decision. 
A new third area for shy dogs will be built between the small and large dog areas. This area will be designed for dogs that might not want to be around other dogs while at the dog park. 
The shy dog area and the large dog area will include a new covered shelter for dogs and their owners to share. Construction of this third area and the new shelter is scheduled to begin sometime in December.
