Canine companions and their human friends in Santa Clara face an unexpected and troubling predicament. The beloved Nuevo Dog Park has been shuttered temporarily by city officials due to disturbing reports of pet illnesses, with incidents reaching a peak in the past week. According to the City of Santa Clara, concerns reached a critical point following the unfortunate death of a dog after it visited the park.
In the face of these events, officials pledge to prioritize public health, as they've initiated an exhaustive environmental assessment of the area. "We are taking these concerns seriously," the City of Santa Clara emphasized, asserting that no pesticides are used in the dog parks and maintenance is carried out using only pet- and eco-friendly products. Rest assured, the park will remain closed while the investigations are underway.
For those seeking information or wishing to report further concerns, the city has offered channels for communication. A Dog Park Hotline at 408-615-3144 stands ready to take calls, and residents can also report through the MySantaClara app.
