Applying chemicals to city properties

The City of Dubuque Leisure Services Department will be chemically treating the playground areas at Falk and Hillcrest Parks on Thursday, August 16, 2018. The playground areas will be treated to remove thistles.  These plants pose a risk to the intended function of the play area.  Signage will be in place during treatment and the playgrounds will be temporarily closed for 24 hours.  We appreciate your patience while we treat these areas.
