Valmont Dog Park closing May 7 for three-month renovation
The dog park at Valmont City Park, located at 5275 Valmont Road, will close May 7 for major renovations and improvements. The dog park is scheduled to re-open in August (contingent upon weather-related construction progress).
Improvements at the dog park will include widening parking lot access, a new entry plaza, fencing, surfacing, landscaping and water hydrants. A portion of the new park will also include an enclosed, irrigated turf area, low berms, a new 16-foot square shade shelter, and two smaller shelters. The shelters are funded by the Capital Improvement Bond passed in November 2011.

- East Boulder Community Park, 55th Street and Sioux Drive (south of the Community Center);
- Howard Heuston Dog Park, 34th Street, south of Iris Avenue (un-fenced dog park – voice and sight control required).

Boulder police to hold monthly SWAT exercise this week
The Boulder Police Department Swat Team will be conducting a multi-location training exercise on Thursday, April 19. The exercise is part of the department’s annual training program and will occur in several locations in and around Boulder.
Approximately 25 officers will take part in the training. Residents will see police activity in the southeast and east/central areas of town. SWAT Team members will be carrying unloaded weapons and may deploy visible smoke bombs as part of the exercise.
One of the goals of this particular training is to evaluate officers’ preparedness for emergencies at unknown locations. Because of this, the department is not releasing the specific locations of the exercises.
