PARK CITY, UT — As the fall season approaches, Willow Creek Park’s popular pond is set to close for maintenance. The last day for visitors to enjoy the pond is Monday, October 7. After that, Basin Recreation’s parks team will begin preparations for winter upkeep, ensuring the pond is ready for next year. While the pond will close, the nearby grass dog park will remain open for community use throughout the season.
