The reopening of the Happy Tails Dog Park is about two weeks away as work to install the new fencing begins on Monday.

Information from the City of Roseburg said a contractor will work to replace 730 feet of fencing that was mangled at the park, which is a one-acre space next to Templin Beach Park on Southeast Templin Avenue.

The park has been closed since suffering severe damage from flooding by the South Umpqua River during record rainfall on Sunday, March 16th. Fencing around the park was destroyed and the flood left water and debris in the park.

Fencing reinstallation should be finished by Thursday, July 31st. The dog park will open immediately after that work is complete.
