Glen Innes Severn Council is excited to invite residents to have their say on the establishment of a new fully fenced off-leash dog park in Glen Innes.
Council has identified Lions Park as the proposed location for the park and is seeking valuable community input to help finalise the decision.
Glen Innes Severn Council Mayor Rob Banham says Council is excited about the prospect of providing a dedicated space for the community’s four-legged friends and their owners to enjoy.
“This project represents our commitment to creating inclusive, safe, and enjoyable public spaces. We look forward to hearing from our residents. Their input is crucial in helping us create a space that is not only functional but also enjoyable for everyone,” said Cr Banham.
The proposed off-leash dog park aims to offer a welcoming space where pets and their owners can spend quality time together while preserving the local environment.
The project will transform one of the three proposed sites into an attractive off-leash dog park featuring a secure perimeter fence and various amenities designed for both safety and enjoyment.
Project highlights Include:
• Fully fenced with double gates
• Shelter (natural or man-made structure)
• Water infrastructure for dogs and humans
• Entry lighting
• Signage for terms of entry/use
• Basic agility infrastructure for dog free-play and exploration
• Pet waste bags
• Rubbish bins
Residents are encouraged to review the proposed location and provide their input.
