Teton County Parks and Rec takes down Fairground dog park for season


JACKSON, Wyo. — The Teton County/Jackson Parks & Recreation Department will be taking down the temporary dog park located at the Teton County Fairgrounds on the morning of Friday, April 26.

The last day for public use is Thursday, April 25.

The dog park is being taken down to align with the end of winter wildlife closures in Teton County, which occurs each year on May 1. Parks and Recreation asks residents to be respectful of the wildlife closures until they are lifted.

Parks and Recreation staff remind the community that per Town Ordinance 7.05 (Animal Care and Control Regulations), pets must be always under leash or verbal control within the Town of Jackson. Dogs are not allowed in any Town Parks, and are only allowed on pathways when physically leashed.

For questions or concerns, email Parks Superintendent Andy Erskine at
aerskine@tetoncountywy.gov.
