If you desire to use a shelter but missed the 5-day advance reservation cut-off, open-air shelters are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Payment is required at the time of reservation.

GEOCACHING Geocaching is a game that encourages individuals of all ages to explore the world and to find real hidden treasure! Using a GPS-enabled device, participants navigate to a set of coordinates and try to find the geocache (hidden container) at that location. These hidden containers include a logbook and will occasionally include a prize. If you take a prize from a cache, make sure to leave something of equal value in its place! Geocaching is a free and easy hobby. All you need is a GPS-enabled device and a free account on www.geocaching.com or any other number of geocaching websites. The Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department maintains several caches in many parks. Do you think you can discover where they are?

DOG PARKS AND DOGS IN IOWA CITY PARKS The City of Iowa City is a pet-friendly community. In order to ensure that all users have a great recreational experience, we need pet owners to follow City rules and regulations related to walking dogs in public areas, parks, open spaces, and trails. Owners must keep their dogs on a leash and are responsible for picking up after their pets. Iowa City Parks and Recreation has two dog parks where dogs are allowed offleash. They provide opportunities for exercise, socialization, and training. All dogs must display either a park permit tag or a day pass to use the off-leash dog parks. Owners without permits or passes may be fined. Iowa City residents must have a current City of Iowa City Animal License to get a dog park tag. Proof of rabies vaccination is also required to use the dog parks.

RITA’S RANCH DOG PARK 640 South Scott Boulevard THORNBERRY OFF-LEASH DOG PARK 1867 Foster Road For information about our dog parks including tag pricing and rules visit icgov.org/DogPark

BIKE TRAIL IN PROGRESS! Over a mile of natural surface single track trail designed for mountain and cross style cycling is currently being built at Terrill Mill Park, located near the UI Beckwith Boathouse. The trail will include a skills section for intermediate level cyclists (blue route) while mostly catering to riders looking to enjoy engaging and diverse entry level tracks (green route). The trail will pass along the Iowa River, over bridges and boardwalks, through lowland forest and prairie, over massive windfallen trees, and through the historic ice house foundation. The trail is being designed for one-way travel along a loop system for a rider friendly experience. The popularity of single track cycling has been increasing throughout the region and this course will provide new cycling opportunities in a location accessible from the larger Iowa City bike trail network. The new trail completion is targeted for late fall 2023 (trail will remain closed until completed).

Each hole has a short and a long tee, providing 36 different holes to play on any day. Mixing open holes with wooded ones, the course offers the challenge of throwing accurately, as well as grip-it-and-rip-it holes. WETHERBY PARK 2400 Taylor Drive Wetherby Park has a 9-hole, recreational course that is perfect for new players. Hole one starts just south of the main shelter.
