MELROSE — The City of Melrose is sharing the following updates for the upcoming week:
Dog Park set to reopen this week
The Melrose Dog Park is set to reopen on Saturday, July 19 following the installation of a new 6-foot perimeter fence. This important upgrade, which was paid for by a free cash allocation approved by the Melrose City Council this spring, improves a well-loved and well-used space for Melrose residents and their canine companions. Thank you to all users for their patience while the park was closed during construction!
