Longmont’s Dog Park #2 Closing Feb. 23 to 27 for Hydrant Upgrades

Dog Park #2 at 375 Airport Road will be closed for infrastructure work, specifically water-hydrant upgrades, beginning Monday, Feb. 23, 2026, the City of Longmont Parks & Open Space Department posted in a public-service announcement. The closure affects the fenced off-leash area located 0.2 miles west of the corner of Airport Road and St. Vrain Road.

The closure start date is named in the City notice; a multi-day end date has been cited in related summaries but is not present in the City page excerpts provided with the announcement. Monitor Longmont Indicators and the City’s Dog Parks webpage for any official update on the full schedule and reopening times for Dog Park #2.

Park operational details on the City site remain in effect: Dog Park #2’s posted hours are one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset, and seasonal water service normally runs from the third Monday of April until the second Monday of October. The City site also notes the park may be closed at parts of the year to allow grass to re-establish, a condition that coexists with the park’s location on land tied to the Public Works Operations Facility.

Longmont’s website text states that Dog Park #2 is currently on land associated with the Public Works Operations Facility and will be relocated to a nearby location when the Public Works Facility expands; the timing of that expansion and the dog park relocation is currently unknown. The hydrant-upgrade work takes place while the park remains on Public Works land, and any future moves will be announced separately by City staff.

For alternatives and live updates, the City’s main Dog Parks webpage lists other dog parks and visitor guidelines, and the interactive parks map under Plans, Maps and Reports can help you find the nearest open off-leash area. The City’s Reservations and Permits and Renewal and Reinvestment pages provide additional context for park projects and scheduled work. The City site also displays other notices such as Severe Weather Shelter Information dated Feb. 18-21, 2026.
