Tree falls and damages fence at dog park

A tree fell on the fence at the Golden Gardens dog park sometime overnight or early this morning.

Diane emailed us these photos and says the tree fell on the fence as well as one of the entrances to the dog park.

Dewey Potter with the Seattle Department of Parks & Recreation tells us that the tree has since been removed, cut up and chipped for use in shrub beds at Seattle parks. A fence crew is making “a temporary repair to contain our canine friends,” Potter says, “A section will need to be replaced, and our maintenance manager has put in a work order to get that done.”
