If you are planning to take your dogs to the Badger Mountain Dog Park next week, heads up, as it will be closed for maintenance.

In a press release from the City of Richland, here is the reason for the closure:

The City of Richland announces that the Badger Mountain Dog Park will be temporarily closed for routine maintenance on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, from opening until 12:00 p.m. (noon).

This temporary closure is necessary to allow maintenance crews to perform essential upkeep and ensure the park remains a safe, clean, and enjoyable space for all visitors and their pets.

The park is expected to reopen at noon on April 1. Visitors are encouraged to plan accordingly and consider alternative locations during the closure period.

So, as you plan out next week, be aware of the closure. If you do live in Richland, head to the Kennewick dog park in Columbia Park.

It's a little extra travel, but worth it, and trust me, your dogs will love the new adventure.
