Last week, the Trion Recreation Department announced an important update for dog park users: all previously issued access cards are now obsolete.

According to the department, troubleshooting issues with the park’s keypad system required a full reset, making the older keys unusable.

Anyone who has not received a new key within the past couple of weeks will need to stop by the Trion Recreation Department to obtain an updated one. Officials said the change was necessary to resolve the keypad malfunction and apologized for any inconvenience.

The Town of Trion officially opened the dog park earlier this year at the track field off Simmons Street. The fenced-in facility provides a dedicated area where residents can exercise, train and socialize their dogs.

The park, inspired by Brinley A. Corbin, includes green mesh perimeter fencing, landscaped planting beds and a shaded seating area for owners.

Town officials say the dog park continues to receive steady use and hope the updated key system will provide smooth and secure access moving forward.

The Trion Recreation Department is open during regular business hours for key replacement.
