Montgomery Parks has announced the closure of the Ellsworth Urban Dog Park in Silver Spring, Maryland, for construction work that will last until May 2025. This development is crucial for local dog owners and community members who frequently use the park for recreation and socialization. The decision to close the park was made to facilitate significant enhancements to the park's facilities, aiming to improve the overall experience for visitors and their pets. As one of the few dedicated dog parks in the area, the shutdown will require residents to find alternative locations for their dogs. The construction is expected to include upgrades that will increase safety and accessibility for all users.

Local officials encourage the community to stay informed about the progress of the construction. The park's closure represents a temporary inconvenience but promises long-term benefits for the community.
