City of Mandurah planning enclosed dog park

Friday, 5 April 2019 13:37

The City is planning an enclosed dog park and they want to know your thoughts on where it should be located.

The City of Mandurah has issued a press release saying:

With nearly 15,000 dogs registered in the City of Mandurah, responsible dog ownership is so important for our community.

An enclosed park will help to contribute to happier, healthier, better socialised dogs and create a community space for dog owners to socialise.

Responsible off-lead areas for dogs already exist within designated spaces around Mandurah. However, enclosed dog parks are particularly beneficial for those who may find it difficult to exercise their dog by walking extended distances.

Eight potential sites have been identified, in most cases they are areas already used by dog owners.

Acheron Road, San Remo
34-38 Karinga Road, San Remo
Leslie Street, Dudley Park
Melaleuca Terrace, Halls Head
Mary Street, Halls Head
Fairbridge Road, Halls Head
Steerforth Avenue, Coodanup
Cambridge Drive, Greenfields

Design elements including park layout, activity zones, circulation paths, fencing, entry points, surface materials, plants, amenities and maintenance management will be developed once the site has been selected.

The findings will then be presented to Council with costings to be considered as part of future budgets.
