John Rudy Park - Canine Meadows

York County Parks’ grounds will remain open during the governor’s Stay at Home Order, which lasts until June 4, 2020. While gates will be open, our facilities such as Canine Meadows, Nixon Park Nature Center and playgrounds will remain closed during this time. Restrooms at Kain, Rocky Ridge, and the front of Rudy Park are open. We ask that park users enjoy our spaces cautiously and practice safe distances of at least six feet and do not congregate in large groups of more than 10 people. If large gatherings persist, we will have to close the gates. If a parking area is busy, consider another area. The Parks administrative building at Rudy Park remains closed to walk-ins, but our staff is available for your calls and emails during normal business hours.

As York County’s response to COVID-19 evolves, so do our operations. We do not want to encourage large gatherings, but we understand the public’s desire to use our parks, particularly as the weather clears up. While we essentially cannot close large open spaces, we appreciate the public’s use of these areas with respect to social distancing. Our goal is to align this modification with that of the state parks. And always remember to carry out whatever you carry in!

Please be patient with us as we continue our response to this pandemic while simultaneously serving York County residents. Public safety remains this administration’s priority.

Hi folks. I was the woman plowed over by a couple dogs on Friday morning. Still in the hospital with several broken bones in my leg and arm, including the need for plates and screws to hold my arm together. I want to first thank the park maintenance guys who were there to help. I think they even called my husband to check on me. I was wondering though if there's some way I can find the woman who helped me. She had a petite brindle boxer and the daddy has BRIGHT PINK hair. I want to thank her. If you can be of any help, I'd appreciate it. I love our dog park community and it's wonderful members. Looking forward to returning in a month or two. Thanks. Meredith Susan Morrow 717-802-2889.
