Wyndham City is one step closer to constructing dog off-lead parks at Cambridge Reserve and Alcock Road Reserve, with concept designs for these sites now open for feedback.
The dog off-leash areas are proposed for the areas north of the existing tennis club at Cambridge Reserve, Hoppers Crossing and the top northern corner of Alcock Road Reserve, Truganina. Each of the proposed off-leash areas will include:
- 1.2m high fences
- Double gate entries
- Bins and Dog bag dispensers
- A drink fountain
- Agility equipment
- Trees and landscaping, and
- At least 3,000m2 of grass, garden bed and gravel surfaces to explore
Cambridge Reserve and Alcock Road Reserve were earmarked for dog off-lead parks in the Wyndham Dog Off-Lead Plan 2022. The Plan identified where dog off-lead parks should be built across Wyndham City over the next five years following extensive community engagement.
Wyndham City Mayor, Cr Susan McIntyre said there was increasing demand for dog off-lead spaces as Wyndham grew.
“We welcome these additional parks, and trust dogs and their pet owners will benefit from enjoying time outside, engaging in physical exercise and socialising,” she said.
“It’s important that all dog off-lead users also maintain effective control over their dog at all times, be aware of canine body language that indicates whether your dog is uncomfortable and ensure vaccinations are up to date – these are just some of the enclosed dog park etiquette guidelines.”
