Part Of Worcester Dog Park To Close For Renovations
Crews are completing another round of renovations at the dog park.
WORCESTER, MA — Dog owners will temporarily lose access to part of a Worcester dog park while crews complete another round of renovations.
Beaver Brook Dog Park's large-dog section will close for work expected to begin Monday, the city announced over the weekend. The project is scheduled to take 14 calendar days, weather permitting, while the small-dog section will remain open.
The approximately 17,000-square-foot dog park is next to the Beaver Brook Community Building on Mann Street.

Dog Park Renovation Projects
The work follows a larger renovation project that began in November 2025. That project included new stone surfaces, benches, trash receptacles, a water bottle filling station and solar lights, according to an earlier city announcement.

The newspaper reported that the city has committed nearly $450,000 to the park improvements, including the original project and subsequent change orders.
