The Burbank Soccer Complex and dog park will be temporarily closed through June while BREC prepares for a massive youth soccer tournament this summer.
The 24 natural turf soccer fields are undergoing maintenance and rest to prepare them for the 250-team U.S. Youth Soccer Southern Regional Championships, BREC spokesman Cheryl Michelet said. To prevent foot traffic near work site and allow for similar rest, the dog park was also closed, Michelet said.
The closure of the dog park should help limit the amount of dirt and mud that dogs bring home from the park once it reopens by allowing vegetation to grow, Michelet said.
BREC has dealt with longstanding issues with flooding an erosion at the Burbank dog park.
The Raising Cane’s Dog Park at City Park will be open seven days a week in the meantime while the Burbank park is closed, Michelet said.
