River Oaks County Park

10/15/2025

Exciting things are happening at River Oaks Park! We're making upgrades to the gravel road that leads to the dog park. This means the road will be closed for paving on the following dates:

📅 Wednesday, Oct. 15
📅 Monday–Tuesday, Oct. 20–21

If you're visiting during this time, please park at the splash pad parking lot and walk to the dog park. Please remember your dog must remain leashed until you get to the dog park fenced in area areas.

Thanks for your patience while we make the park even better for you (and your pups)! 🐾
