Leesburg, VA (August 5, 2025) – Olde Izaak Walton Park, including the Leesburg Dog Park, will be closed beginning Monday, August 18, for repairs to the Davis Court SE bridge leading into the park.  No vehicular or  pedestrian access across the bridge will be allowed during this time.

Work on the bridge includes steel beam replacement, masonry repairs, and concrete and asphalt work. Due to the bridge being the sole access point into and out of the park, the entire park will be closed for the duration of construction.

Bridge repairs are expected to be completed and the park reopened by Friday, October 11, weather dependent.
