Why is the gate to the dog park locked.

I think it's closed at night. Try in the morning?

That's weird all this last year I have gone in the dog park at all hours of night and day Gate was never locked. Try the other entrance

Because about 4 hours ago the Park closed. When It opens again in the morning at 8, the city park workers will unlock the gates at both ends of the dog "no leash" area when they unlock the restroom.
