Dog Park Features & Amenities
For the Dogs
- Secure Fenced Enclosure: Black chain-link fencing and a double-gated entry keep dogs contained while they play.
- Separate Small Dog Zone: The park is split into a large dog area and a small dog area. The large dog area is also open to active, confident small dogs, with placement at the owner’s discretion.
- Agility Equipment: A ramp, low platforms, a row of posts and a barrel tunnel sit on a gravel base beside the concrete path.
- Open Grass: A wide, mown lawn gives dogs room to run, chase and play fetch.
- Drinking Water: A water station is in both the large and small dog areas, each with a drinking fountain and dog bowl.
For the Humans
- Always Open: The park runs 24 Hours, 7 Days, which suits early mornings and late afternoons.
- Shelter and Seating: A covered shelter has picnic bench seating, with further benches along the lawn and mature gums around the perimeter for shade.
- Poo Bags: A bag dispenser is fixed to the fence beside the lawn, and bins are provided. Carry a spare bag in case the dispenser is empty.
- No Night Lighting: No lighting inside the fenced area, so daytime visits only.
Insider Tip: The agility equipment sits on gravel, so it drains well after rain while the grass may still be damp. If your dog is new to agility, start with the ramp and the low platforms, then add the posts and tunnel once they are confident.
